You can always change the aluminum ID tag. Wires were soldered and black heat shrink and their location was staggered so as to not have a huge bulge in one place. I have some of that non-adhesive tape that Dad brought home back in the 70s.
Just what I did to retain/reuse the original wiring. A lot easier when it matches the TMs.
Please, keep us posted with progress!
