Also, I'd like to replace the cable that runs to the rear light, but the price was really high - I guess because of the flexible conduit that it should have around it. I have seen complete wiring harness sets, but don't need all the others. Any suggestions? As far as the rear light wire is concerned, what would anyone think just getting a heavy enough guage wire and then placing it in that plastic, split wire conduit that is common now on cars. Not sure of it's name. [Reply]   [No Email]

The original cable size was #2, and #1 gauge is a BIG improvement. The #1 gauge is also a LOT easier to install, and is much easier to route in and around various obstructions for a much neater appearance. [Reply]  [No Email]

The gauge should be 00gauge, with soldered on terminals. Shop for parts by description, not by Farmall M Take the old one in for length, not size (go with 00ga.). The other wire can be replaced as noted, and run under the edge of the platform, or in a piece of steel fuel line to keep it from damage where it crosses foot traffic. Stick on wire loom locator tabs will stick to cleaned spots well. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
