You can do a couple things,
1. Bring the wiring harness to the shack, match it up and get an equal ammount of male and female connectors of the same size, put a bit of wire between them and your good to go.
2. Cut the ends of the ones that are too short and extend them with butt connector w/ and aditional piece of wire or solder and shrink tube in the same piece of wire
There may be another way, I can't think another way...  :-\

Well, you can do something similar to the instructions in 2. above or you can get something called a splice connector.  If you do that you'll just put the wire that's going to your 8 way into the splice along with a piece of wire that goes to your 4 way and crimp it down.  It's real simple!

Let's assume that the wiring harness connector quick disconnects are going to the P1 8-way joy.

Thanks for the great ideas! They both sound doable,  I'm sure one of them will work for me.

Now I just need to hit Radio Shack and see what I can find.

Thanks again, guys. The help is greatly appreciated.  :)
