I used to be very open minded about pot smokers then the THC % skyrocketed and the problems began .

Undersize wiring is a constant problem, remember Japanese cars in the 1970's ? they all used 18 gauge wires throughout to $ave initial co$t$ and the result was dim lights .

Electrical works are not really overly difficult, just time consuming .

These days pretty much every oldie I touch needs significant wiring repairs or upgrades .

I'm primarily a German vehicle Mechanic so I understand the need for not only a decent gauge but more strands in each wire because the electricity passes over the outside of each strand so getting a larger diameter wire won't help in it's coarsely stranded .

I look for older German vehicles and strip out the main harness' and use the center portions that have no degraded insulation to make up new or repair old wiring .

In general I use the D.I.N. color codes and solder and heat shrink all connections , the resulting systems tend to work at least as well as they did when new and still on 6 volts .
