In our older 80's (esp. the pre-8/92 ones) the wiring is getting very aged and especially in the engine bay area is subjected to a lot of heat plus any wiring to/from or near the engine gets a lot of vibration.
Does anyone do anything special to protect or just otherwise ensure the longevity of the wiring harness(es) in the engine bay given none of it is now available as new oldstock if wholesale replacement of any particular section is needed?
One of the hardest areas to do much about seems to be near the starter motor area in my 80 where there's a big plug/socket wiring harness connection which is basically fully exposed to heat and vibration without any really simple way to give it a lot of protection.
