Cleaned up the engine side of the firewall for the clutch master mount, derusted, and put flat primer to hold it over until a frame off comes around.
Bench bled the master, but while putting the clutch hose on the slave, cracked the brass inlet pipe,very annoying, ended up ordering a new OEM slave cylinder.
while waiting on that show up, moved back to the rear wiring harness, now that all the bits are here. Got some good advice from ToyotaMatt and read up everything Coolerman has posted. Added some extra ground wires, and used 16ga for everything.
old one on the top with what looks like 18ga, much of it cracked. Replaced all the way to the little plates inside the individual sockets, and added a ground to the case. Ground away the paint before rivetIng the ground, and then some paint over it.
tested as I went along, and everything so far is good. Ran the ground all the way up to an existing ground point for the fuel gauge, and added a pigtail with additional 12v, and all wires for a trailer plug for an led light bar at some point.
Old and new side by side. Tested the reverse switch it is good, and no shorts to ground in either position.
