first layer.
Make sure that the layer:
• Starts 1 inch minimum farther than where the first layer stops
• Stops 1 inch minimum farther than where the first layer starts
• Makes a 50 percent overlap.
(c) Tightly wind the third layer of tape on the splice assembly in the opposite direction of the
second layer.
Make sure that the layer:
• Starts where the second layer stops
• Stops where the second layer starts
• Makes a 50 percent overlap.
(10) Assemble a lacing tape wire harness tie on each end of the splice assembly approximately 0.25
