Hi Chris.
I’d prefer ‘Reverse Engineered’ rather than ‘backwards’.
Thanks for the assembly background. I didn’t realize a special tool was used to fit the plug end assembly, but do recall that end looked odd in some way in which the plug was fitted over the cable. I was concerned the old loom might split or tear if I played with it too much, so decided to leave it alone and go the back door route.
Cheers,
David
