Having been dreading taking out all my dash wiring to remove my bulkhead for easier repair (than doing it in situe) Think ive just have an excellant idea for the hundreds of wires that would otherwise have to be painstackingly labled and removed, only to have to be individually reconnected afterwards.
Was thinking, sitting here bored so my mind naturally goes back to my bulkhead! And then had a breakthrough;
As all the wires come through my bulkhead through one of the two holes, in about 3 runs of the standard "7 core trailer wire"+ Plus some thicker ones for the starter etc. (its been rewired)
WHY NOT; Cut each cable individually (to stop myself getting mixed up! lol) then glue a terminal block to the bulkhead for each "trailer wire" Then wire each cable through here, meaning;
When I remove the bulkhead, I can simply disconnect the wires at the terminal blocks, and when it comes to reconnect them, I simply drop in the bulkhead, and follow to colour codes (of the wire, I'll label the "trailer wire" using different coloured nail varnish, so I dont get the 3 main ones mixed up)
Good idea? Seems much easier than disconnecting all of the dash, im too lazy for that!
Any idea of what Amps the wires for the lighting and the sensors is?
Any idea of what Amps the wires for Main Beams+Starter solenoid is? (this is a bit thicker, so dont want to melt the terminal blocks!
Thanks,

I was thinking of doing that on mine as well. Mainly for neatness.
