Crazy Taz and his wire tuck.

theres a audio place near by that would have it and I want what 2 gauge? can I use 4 gauge for the ground?

You never want your ground to be smaller than your power. 2 gauge might be harder to find than 1/0 and 4. When I installed for an audio shop, I never once saw 2 gauge.

how about some gold plated hand woven wire... it's only like 75 bucks a foot

lol..I wasnt talkin that high of quality. But if you gots the fundz....do it

SO I got to the point tonight/ this morning where I could start putting things back together! So after I get the battery wire ran and the power ran to the fuse box I'll be ready to see if it starts...

so this side looks nice, but the top and other side look like sh** I hope when I put the top swap on here that will help fix the top part of the engine the other side I'm going to do a little bit at a time because doing as much as I did at once on this side was just a major pain.

Get that crap outta there! You'd be surprised how much that would clean it up

 

[Taz Magister]

when I went for more heat shrink today I picked up a cut-off switch but I don't know where I'm going to put it yet

 

[redlinepontiac]

throough your taillight like a raceee kar

throough your taillight like a raceee kar

Should I also rip the dash out and replace it with a small sheet of aluminum with a row of switchs and gauges? or should the roll cage go in first?

 

[Taz Magister]

wow this picture pretty much says all you need to know about most the people in this fourm

 

[redlinepontiac]

when i find a new DD im doing that to the Gtp lol

 

[Taz Magister]

how do you guys feel about connections like this?

where you twist the two wires together giving it a good physical conection and then soder them and stick some heat shrink on top. It's not super pretty but Iv'e never had a conection where I've done that in the past fail...

opinions please

 

[Scottydoggs]

that way will work but its going to get lumpy on ya, push the wires together like this guy does, that way its all smooth when your done. ‪How To Solder Wires Together‬‏ - YouTube

 

[Taz Magister]

yea thanks my dad just showed me the same thing when I asked how he does his

 

[Taz Magister]

so yea should have just soldered it all in the first place because pulling tape and those stupid crimps off just added another hour into the project lol no work tomorrow so I got all day to finish it.

 

[Scottydoggs]

you've come this far, just take your time and it will all be so satisfying in the end.

i learned my lesson years ago with all the different but splices and clip on wire connectors, they all suck and fail sooner or later. had the wires under my dash in a old ass truck catch fire from the radio wires that were connected with them blue clips that let you add a wire to another wire,(never again) lots of smoke and melted wires lol

soldering rules!

 

[redlinepontiac]

scotch locks evil evil little things, i have a couple of the twisted style splices under my dash
