I have told this story before, but here is the Cliff Notes version.

When I removed the wiring from my B4B, I did it individual harness by harness, putting a tag on the end of each wire to remind me where they connected.  I then mounted each on a section of chipboard  (two harnesses per 2'x4" piece of chipboard).  I used the wiring harness available in the tech section and then I measured each of my wires to determine the length and connectors required.  Once I had all of that, I bought the colored, cloth wires and connectors from Rhode Island Wires. 

I built my harnesses one at a time, measuring then cutting one wire at a time.  I would solder the ends, then I would slip the shrink tubing on, crush on the appropriate connector, resolder the crush on connector to the wire. slid the shrink tube in place and shrunk it.  I would build all the wires for that harness, then I would match their length on one end to the original harness (the other end will automatically be correct) and I would tape the wires to match the original, creating a new harness.  Built all the harnesses, then installed - it all worked like it was supposed to.
