Default taping wires is a no no.!

I agree with grbrown , the best way to remove the system is to remove the entire system including the wiring .
If this is not possible then you should terminate the old wires with silicone injected butt connectors and not tape.
Squirt a shot of silicone into each butt connector , then crimp as usual.
This will provide a cheap weatherproof wire termination .

Hi,I have looked inside the console and the wiring for the CB & Radio alone would be a nightmare (for me!) to attempt stripping it out. Have noted your comments re. wire termination. Many thanks for response. Bungo
