I don't think you need to cut and resolder anything. Taking the stock plastic covering crap is probably a good idea, it's generally hard and brittle by now anyways. Rewrapping section of a harness with electrical tape is therapeutic. I think you can do the same on the passenger side, it's only the headlight wiring though.

I can take some pics at home if you'd like.
please do take pictures, the bracket looks to be wielded to the inner fender, and wielded to the wheel well also.

It is, you have to disconnect the harness so you have a free end, and thread it through like a needle and thread.

Like I said, most of my plastic accordion crap is gone. I don't much like it. Especially on the fuel hose. WTF is it doing there?!?! Who knows. My method is as follows: Take all the OEM plastic and E-tape off inch by inch. When you come to a junction, where two sections of wires divert, put a small zip tie snugly around the wires. Remove these as you re-wrap with new E-tape, and you'll know it'll all fit when you're done.

The AFM plug was cut off, then the cord was stripped to where it joins the main harness, all but the two AIT wires were cut there, and AIT wires were soldered onto long leads and taped into the main harness to somewhere under the headlight, where it crosses the bumper beam/radiator support bar and then plugs into the cold side of my IC. Diagnostic box bracket is scrapped, and the box is folder back towards the clutch master cylinder, and zip tied where it meets the rest of the harness.

Well that would have been nice on my old master. It didn't work.
Does the down pipe have a special exhust gasket to connect to the mid pipe. None of the parts store ones line up

Why? It all fits there. I wouldn't do that.

Disconnect the MC wiring, it should light up the e-brake light. If not, there's something wrong with the wiring. If it does, it's either full or a faulty switch. Wouldn't be surprised if brake fluid breaks those every once in a while.
