Pic 1-2..Bought these wire loom anchors from Ebay..

https://www.ebay.com/itm/303821567523?

Tape them to the loom and use a 5/16 hole to anchor them in place.

Created the wire harness for the fuel tank system..

2 fuel pumps and 2 fuel tank sending units..

Pic 1..I use to work at an auto wrecking yard and recycling center..and one day someone brought in a container of wire..Yea you know the rest..This container has been stored for over 25 years and I am finally going to use it to create the wiring I need..

Pic 2..You should hold the wire loom straight while you wrap it..

Pic 3..Using Tesa Tape..51036..This is the good stuff..Very hard to tear and very abrasive resistant..You have to cut it with scissors..

German made tape..Nothing better to make custom looms..

The armature was a bear to get it to release from the crankshaft..Tapered fit that has been that way for over 50 years

Last photo shows several of the parts laid out, ready to be refurbished..

Received the brown-black vinyl I need to re upholster my dash..It will be interesting to figure out how to do that.

There is no stitching to do..just staples
