00:00 | - To build a tidy and reliable EFI wiring harness we do need to have access to some specialty tooling and the knowledge of how to use that tooling properly. |
00:08 | In this section of the course, we'll go through some practical demonstrations of the skills required and I'll share some of the tips and tricks I've discovered that make the job a little bit easier. |
00:16 | Luckily none of the tooling required at the modified street car or club day track car level is particularly expensive or hard to source. |
00:23 | In the wiring section of our online forum, we keep an updated list of recommended tooling and suppliers which is well worth perusing. |
00:31 | The flood of cheap tooling available from overseas can be extremely tempting and often it's absolutely fine, giving a reliable professional result. |
00:39 | Sometimes however its quality in both form and function can leave a lot to be desired. |
00:45 | We've trialled much of the available cheap tooling to build a list of what we find works and where you can source it for a reasonable price. |
00:52 | Once you reach the professional motorsport wiring harness level however there is absolutely no substitute for the manufacturer specified tooling. |
01:00 | The price of which can be a real shock. |
01:03 | We cover this tooling in our advanced motorsports wiring course. |
01:06 | As this course is primarily a theory course on the electrical fundamentals, we don't go through a complete wiring harness construction from scratch. |
01:14 | But the physical processes we discuss and show you here, form important primer knowledge to follow on to our practical wiring harness construction course. |
