That's very good advice; oftentimes you fix one wire and very shortly after, another one breaks inside the insulation. That ebay harness looks VERY good. When soldering the wires, first put you put your hot soldering iron on the tip of the plug pin, pull out, or shake out the left-over bits of wire inside the pin; you should be able to look through the pin! Tin the new wire, then insert it into the pin--you may have to have your soldering iron on the pin when you do this, put it on the tip or side of the pin. Ideally the wire should just slightly stick out the end of the pin; you want the solder to stick to the wire inside the tip of the pin, and to leave no solder outside the pin, although a tinning coating is fine. If you are using a new plug, tin the inside of the plug before inserting the wire. I do this with fine flux-core solder that will slide inside the pin. When done, the insulation should just enter the pin and it should look nice and neat just as if the staff at ACG did it.
