Abstract: There is described a clocking angle setting tool 24 for a wire harness comprising: a support arm 26 provided with a clamp 34 for attaching a harness cable of the wire harness to the support arm 26; a connector receptacle 32 for receiving a connector provided at the end of the harness cable and having a key or keyway for engaging with a complementary keyway or key of the connector, wherein the connector receptacle 32 is spaced from the clamp 34 and is rotatably mounted to the support arm 26; and a locking mechanism for locking an angular position of the connector receptacle relative to the support arm; wherein the angular position of the connector receptacle relative to the support arm determines a clocking angle of the connector relative to the harness cable. A method of setting a clocking angle of a wire harness is also described.
