Currently working on the wiring harness and found a couple wires in desperate need of replacement but they go through this plastic sheathing on the harness. Has anybody replaced wires through this sheathing? Should I just pull the wires out and try and jam them back in? I was also thinking I could just replace the sheathing, because it is 50 years old now, but how would I put new sheathing back on?
Thanks so much Attached thumbnail(s)

Francis - this link to video from HP academy is a great video on why crimping is the preferred solution in both production automotive world as well as top level Motorsport.
