Oh man, I just ran a second test with a "fake" harness made from rope - and it worked!
Absolutely no problems, very nice finish an nearly effortless!  8)

I'm still shaking and can't believe it ;D Now I have to calm down and then braid my wiring harness. This is so great, but see for yourseves:

The Chief's harness is done, too! Here are some detail pictures:

















As you can see, there's only one open end that I taped with cloth tape and it disappears under the plastic piping that protects the harness in the steering head area from wear. All the other ends were turned inwards before braiding and are therefor "closed".

Video is still rendering...
So long,
Andreas

"As good as" ?  :o
Absolutely not! It looks a hell of a LOT better than OEM!  ;D
