I am redoing my panel after replacing my failed Subaru with a Lycoming and I would like to do some cleanup in wire routing.  Would using some knife splices on some 16 and 18 wires to get some wire bundles untangled do any harm?



Thanks,



Ron Burnett

   Generally, no . . . but why knife splices as opposed

   to butt splices?

Ron,



You could also solder the wires together, with is easy and reliable. See

the photos at the bottom of this post on my blog

Bob,

My panel isn't easily assessable except from underneath, thru 2 access panels I cut and installed between the windscreen and firewall. Was thinking knife in case I needed to get in there again, but I like your plan better.

Thanks,  what little I know is from attending your course twice and this list.  Thanks for all you do for all of us.

Ron Burnett

Art, 

Thanks but I prefer crimping as those are skills I am sharper at.
