V1 Extension Wires

[Adam in CLE]

All,

Chassis and parts are going to sandblast this week and then off to powder coating. Have a bunch of wiring to finish up so I can start building when I get it back. DF is out of the wiring harness kits at the moment and don't want to take a break. Would anyone be so kind to send links for the additional wire needed? I have searched and only found garbage knockoff wire of which I am not comfortable with. Appreciate the help as always. Link to the wires I am describing I need. https://store.dfkitcar.com/products/wiring-harness-supply-kit

Thin the harnesses, then use the wire you removed to make your extensions. Make sure to match the wire gauge and if you change colors make notes for yourself. That's how I did mine.

Thanks for both answers and the link. Karl, I was planning to do that but if I had to redo something in the future and lost my notes or labels, it would be a lot of work to figure it out. Did you run into that? @Gtstorey All wires used for the extensions are 22awg per Lonny, have you run into any issues going with 16awg? Thanks for the link as well!

Also, did either of you buy the cruise control resister kit?

Only issue with going larger is that butt splices that cover 16g are a little large for 22g. I used this wire for the lights, heat exchanger fan and pump. I also used a lot of thinned wires from the donor.

No I bought the resistors from Digi-Key

Do you have a link for the resistors you bought?

 

[Gtstorey]

PM me your email and I’ll send you the invoice with part numbers.

I bought a complete extended wire kit from DFK.
