That looks good, Tom.

So you already know what to do with bathtubs!

I'd be tempted to put labels on all the connections coming out of the AR88 harness, then snip all the connections and remove the whole harness. Make a pin board to spread it out on a lump of plywood and then use the pinboard to make up the full harness with longer lengths to allow for connections, and then do a neat lacing job. Putting labels on the ends of each wire as built to match the labels written on the board.

It's a lot of work, but produces a neater result.

I believe the re-wired AR88s were done this way, REME had a job lot of harnesses made up and in they went.

It's harder these days because the colours of the cotton outers have faded away, so the labelling becomes the critical issue. Lacing is so much easier and neater on a board.
