1. A method for assembling an electrical wire harness comprising the steps of:

  • locating wire end terminating means having a Velcro®

    -like base on a wiring board at locations where wires are to begin and end;

    locating wire gathering units having Velcro®

    -like surfaces on their bases on said wiring board along the path where the wires of the electrical harness will pass;

    routing wires from wire end terminator units through wire gathering units until the complete wire harness is formed;

    tightening the wire gathering units so that the wires of the electrical harness stay in place;

    removing the assembled electrical harness and wire gathering units assembly from said wiring board;

    placing the assembled electrical harness in an electrical chassis having electronic components therein so that the Velcro®

    -like surfaces of the wiring gathering mate units with Velcro®

    -like targets on the electrical chassis thereby securing the harness to the electrical chassis; and

    ,connecting the free wire ends of the electrical harness to the electrical components on the electronic chassis.
