Documenting and removing one harness at a time ..slowly  but accurately


It takes more time to document the wiring then it does to actually remove it ..
This is called "BUS Archeology"



 

In some places the wiring harness was installed, then they installed a wall or section ..
we have to disassemble the wiring harness within the chassis in sections ..
 Not easy to remove but if we are careful enough it can be accomplished.


We are actually only showing about half the images .
We will take a lot of images to make sure we document everything very carefully for reassembly .

Today Tim and Dan worked on removing one of the last larger wire harness's left .
Note how careful Tim needs to be so as not to damage the wiring.
We need these harness's to use as templates when we rebuild them again .
There are no accurate reference  manuals...

No ,..That's not a snake,.. if so,..It's a very expensive one ..
