Didn't you mention cloth covered wiring? That will make the process much easier. I did my JTM45 with it, and being able to cut to length and then just "push back" saves a bunch of wire stripping. (you probably know this already, but I'll mention it in case it helps. Make sure you use SHARP wire cutters, or trim the cloth with a sharp knife as you work, because the downside to cloth wire is that the ends can get furry really fast if you don't cut it clean.)
