That may be a good slogan, but more often than not, it is "opens" that you are called out for. Shorts are easy to find!

Big shorts in Canada, EH? Must be hearsay. I think you have not been to Canada.

I mentioned this earlier, it has been over 40 years since I made an attempt, so only Harvey has room to criticize. This is a harness to convert a specially prepared Delco 25SI alternator. It uses a remote "marine" multi stage regulator to recharge deep cycle battery bank on my trucks.
With the harness and Weather-pac connector, any of my alternators, and I always carry a spare, can replace any other on any of my trucks. plug and play.

No critique from me, nice lacing work even the correct rope.
Bravo well done ! Like riding a bike...

I have always enjoyed doing control wiring , wire stay methods of today
with plastics, makes for some mighty pretty work.
Rope lacing still has its worth. I use it in communication,
fiber , and DC wiring on racks.
The lacing rope we now use is nylon but still looks tight and nice.

With a "test fitting" it is ready to slip into NML (non metallic loom) Marmon uses a lot of fabric loom. Lacing vs wire ties, the lacing slips easily through a loom, where ties will catch.
Thanks for the kind words, the material is waxed thread sealed at the ends with lacquer. Last time I did lacing was when I took my A&P (aircraft) mechanic's lic. test, and that was 40 years ago.
