HARNESS CONSTRUCTION
The cardboard harness jig (Pictorial #2) will enable you to build your harness easily and quickly. Careful
work at this time will pay dividends in terms of appearance and easy final wiring.
You will note that the jig has numerous scored rectangles with lines emerging from them. These are tabs to
hold the wires in place as they are inserted in the harness. Bend these tabs upward toward you, and with a pencil
point gently push the scored circle out of the tab. Similarly, remove the smaller scored rectangles.
To construct the harness, select the color of wire indicated, cut it to length (a scale is provided on the jig for
this purpose), strip it at both ends as directed, and place it in the jig. The numbers in the parentheses indi cate the
length that each end is to be stripped. The numbers preceding the parentheses indicate the starting and finishing
points of the wire route.
For example, the first step reads: “Connect a green wire 9˝ long from 2 (
¼
˝) to 8 (
¼
˝)”. The procedure is
to first cut a piece of green wire 9˝ long and strip both ends back
¼
˝. Insert one stripped end in the hole
marked “2” on the jig and bend it over behind the jig to hold it in place. Following the printed line, run the wire
through the bent-up tabs, taking the designated route to the hole marked “8”. Insert the end of the wire into this
hole, and bend it over behind the jig to hold it in place.
If the wire has been accurately cut to size and properly inserted into the jig, it will stay in place while the rest
of the wires are inserted. If they tend to fall out, however, they may be held in place temporarily by means of
pieces of tape.
When all the wires are in place, tape them together tightly at the 22 points indicated. One or two turns of
tape around each point is all that is required.
