Default Del Sol - looking for a "How To" on wire tuck and brake line tuck

Hey guys,

Just looking for a "how to" on wire tucking a del sol. Would like one on a brake line tuck too. I type in wire tuck and got a TON of things but not a specific how to. If you guys could just direct a couple links my way i can do the rest!

Thanks,

Austin Webb

Didn't look hard enough. Nearly 1300 pages.

There are no direct How Tos. If you don't know how to cut and extend wires then you can't do a tuck.

I looked at thread titles and didnt see any specific how to's and rather than waste time searching through 1300 pages i figured i could call on some fellow honda people that may have visited that particular subject recently and they could shoot me the link. No harm no foul and thanks

And i can cut and extend wiring just fine, just wanted a guide of specifics and maybe some tips and tricks. Thanks again.

Everything you want is in that thread. If you don't want to look through it that's really not our problem. There are various people that have shown progress photos but that is also to be found in that thread. The point I'm trying to make? It's in that thread! If not then it's in the forum that the thread is in.

This is pretty much how they all go. I told you. No real "How To".
Unless you count this.

He doesn't want to read through pages and pages and pages. He just wants someone to bring the info to him.

Learn how to tuck... it’s pretty easy. I learned how to tuck myself because there are not a lot of DIY or guides on how to tuck. Draw a diagram of the plug and which color going into the tiny holes. Remove the pin from plugs. Extend the wires if need to. Route the wires to whatever you want to tuck. Then put the pin back into plugs.

found a link on how to depin from the plugs.

If you need a DIY, then plan on reading a ton. You have to learn, this is not the Matrix where you can just download the ability to tuck a harness. I don't mean to be so frank, but that is just how it is. Good luck.

bring it to a shop. tell them what you want. BAM its done.
since you clearly don't know how to do it yourself if search is stumping you.

That is not only a picture thread. Also this is a custom endeavor. No two people do one of these the exact same way. If you're looking for a specific step-by-step guide you won't find it.

Brakes are the easiest things to make. ISO flare kit, bender, tube cutter and lines is all you need.
