Didn't know about the steamer. Shame Tim Christian's sale doesn't include utility seats:lol: The hounds tooth sounds good in black/white. Maybe we can do a thread on it: How to

Thanks for the offer, I'll take ya up on it

I wonder is I can get that walrus grain in bulk, or even the scroll pattern, i know the seat cover makers get it from somewhere, maybe we can get a hold of some?? I asked Tim about utilities and regular bucket covers in highlander, said it couldn't be done? I am sure someone can do it, maybe his shop is too busy with the regular stuff to take on a sort of custom job/ set of covers??

First pic turned out crappy, any ideas where the original tach harness hole was located on the firewall?

Thanks for the speedy response and the link. Something is already there, brown wire running with the rear lites. Maybe sending unit, maybe I'll drill another hole, or try two get to wires in one grommet

Three pics up, already got something in that hole

Well, realizing that I am extremely anal, I think I will drill another hole below the existing one, rite where the 4 detents line up horizontally...Maybe GM did that for a reason

Time to go buy a stepper drill

Now to find out where it plugs into the fuse block

Or you could use one of the empty spots in the new terminal block. NAPA has the proper crimp connectors, both male and female. The wire would never be noticed.

Thanks for the idea, but my harness has the terminal ends done, just not sure of location...wonder if the wiring schematic has locations

Yeah, but it's not stock...along time ago that was my dilema, painless or stock. I choose the painful way

M&H has those years...that kit looks like alot of work, but very nice

Re: PO has me PO'd
 
aren't all the kits a lot of work? I like that it's complete...so they say

a full M&H kits adds up to $600+ doesn't it?

The stock ones seem to be easier, I'm only replacing what needs to be done. Engine harness was about 100...front light harness is around 190, should be good to go after I finish them.

With the kit everything has to go, and be refitted

And everything is gone in mine. Rusty fusebox, burnt wires.. The taillight section on mine could be saved...:lol:
