Didn't know about the steamer. Shame Tim Christian's sale doesn't include utility seats The hounds tooth sounds good in black/white. Maybe we can do a thread on it: How to

Thanks for the offer, I'll take ya up on it

Re: PO has me PO'd

I wonder is I can get that walrus grain in bulk, or even the scroll pattern, i know the seat cover makers get it from somewhere, maybe we can get a hold of some?? I asked Tim about utilities and regular bucket covers in highlander, said it couldn't be done? I am sure someone can do it, maybe his shop is too busy with the regular stuff to take on a sort of custom job/ set of covers??

Re: PO has me PO'd

First pic turned out crappy, any ideas where the original tach harness hole was located on the firewall?

Thanks for the speedy response and the link. Something is already there, brown wire running with the rear lites. Maybe sending unit, maybe I'll drill another hole, or try two get to wires in one grommet

Three pics up, already got something in that hole

Re: PO has me PO'd

Well, realizing that I am extremely anal, I think I will drill another hole below the existing one, rite where the 4 detents line up horizontally...Maybe GM did that for a reason

Time to go buy a stepper drill

Now to find out where it plugs into the fuse block

Re: PO has me PO'd

Or you could use one of the empty spots in the new terminal block. NAPA has the proper crimp connectors, both male and female. The wire would never be noticed.

Thanks for the idea, but my harness has the terminal ends done, just not sure of location...wonder if the wiring schematic has locations

The stock ones seem to be easier, I'm only replacing what needs to be done. Engine harness was about 100...front light harness is around 190, should be good to go after I finish them.

With the kit everything has to go, and be refitted
