[DeTomaso] Wiring harness R&R

Many including the two unsuccessful owners use Mil-spec/aerospace screw-together connectors. Weatherpak push-togethers are also popular.  BIG job but rewarding at the end. Good luck- JD

Recondition and repair/restore. Definitely not replace. It is out of the car and mounted in plywood. 


Is there a place to buy a supply of connectors to do what you suggest?


Thx

My advice- work on the task every single day even if its only for a few minutes. And have the replacements you need close at hard. I've seen at least two Panteras in which owners got disgusted with the wiring and tore it all out. Neither of those cars ever again moved an inch under their own power. Good luck. J DeRyke

So I'm getting ready to R&R my wiring harness. Any suggestions?  What have some 
of you done to make sure yours was as sound as possible?

Any specialists I should contact?

Thanks in advance
