Never lengthened wires before. Do I just cut the wire and solder another wire to it to lengthen it?
Thanks for getting in here Lofty. I need A/C and power steering. But I'm considering removing my ABS. Should I do the battery first though?
Yes. Make a mechanical bond with the two wires by twisting them together. Put flux on them. Melt the solder on the tip of the gun. Touch the tip with the solder to the wire, it will suck in all the solder. That's how I do it, and it works.
Again, if you just have a street car there are easier ways of going about a battery relocation. I did mine the way I did to be in par with sanctioned rules. If you just drive on the street you can do what I pmmed you to do.
