Failed inspection -- need tailgate rewiring wisdom 140-160 1973

Everything was fine on my 145 except for my license plate light. The wires through the tailgate hinges have broken, or were cut at some point.

A few questions:

1.) I found this workaround in the archives for a 245:

http://brickparts.d--r.com/tailgate.htm

Will it work on a 145?

2.) Would I be better off redoing the wires through the hinges by removing the tailgate and installing replacement harnesses? Patching the original ones this way?

3.) How do I drop the headliner on a 145?

Thanks as usual,

Steve M.
