I have a BJ40 in Costa Rica that I am wanting to replace all the wiring on. The car is all original. I am not a mechanic but I have one in CR. I read that wiring kits require the reuse of original connectors. Being a novice, I am assuming this means using new OEM connectors and not the 40+ year old connectors?? If I were to buy a kit and wanted to have all new connectors is a kit for a FJ40 easily adaptable to a BJ40 (SOR FJ40 kit)? Or is it better to buy a Painless universal kit? And how can I find out all of the connectors I need to buy?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. We have pretty good local stock of connectors and such in Costa Rica, but being a novice I dont know if there are any odd ball connectors that may not be available new...

Thank you in advance!

@ToyotaMatt ”all original” feels like it might call for a NOS OEM wiring harness. 🤔

i have a sweet 1982 one but its pre-owned .

pm me for details
 
As an aside, I was cutting out my rusty glove box of my 12/78 BJ40 last weekend, and unfortunately put my grinder through most of my loom (around 35 wires - most approx 3mm diameter, 3 around 5mm). It's a clean cut, so I'm wondering what's the best way to repair. Simple bullet fittings, a couple of automotive electrical connectors (4 pin up to 9 pin), or should I just solder and shrink wrap each wire? It's inside the cab, so not likely to get wet anytime soon. The main issue being its a straight cut, so any final result is going to cause a bulky package. Any thoughts?
