[T2] Turn signals/emergency flashers 1971 bus

[Bob Pratt]

Hi John,
After some long and frustrating hours trying to find loose/broken/dirty wires I bit the bullet and ordered a complete wiring harness from Wolfsburg West.
I liked the looks of the photos on their website. The package has all the replacement connectors and rubber grommets and, it looks like, a detailed instruction book.
It's due to be delivered this Tuesday "by end of day."
Do I pull the old wiring out front to back? I figure it would be a good idea to attach a medium heavy line to the old wiring to make it easier to pull the new one through.
Should I buy some wire lube to make the pull easier

Wish me luck and a few days of good weather and no family emergencies while I start this project!
