Re: Kell's Two Cents - 1946 build

wiring looks great. much easier to keep things clean with small amount of circuits. I usually opt for 21 circuits bc its nice to have the options for down the road. but... so much more to handle. Wiring is labor intensive, even though it doesn't seem like it would be.

I use 0/2 welding wire and press the ends on in a vise. not sure if its cheaper than what you got or not. NEVER heard of electrical tape on wires bf loom.

One word of advise I learned, on bullet style connectors even if you use heat shrink on them, they can get corrosion if they are exposed to elements. I now opt for weather packs. Its a bit more tricky to crimp them right and costs go up a a bit, but its much nicer to just unhook a 4 wire weatherpack and you know it will never leak.
