No pictures yet. I'll try to snap one or two if I remember next time I have the rig in the driveway. I just didn't think of it at the time.

As for reaching the junction box. Well, I sort of had some problems. I'm kind of a big guy, and as you know that compartment is really small. I really was only able to get one hand at a time in there easily. I could get two hands in there all the way to the back when I absolutely needed to, but it wasn't so comfy. Mostly I was able to do the job with one hand, so it wasn't that big a deal.

My only regret on this particular mod is that I wish I had gotten a longer pigtail. That's one advantage of cutting; you can make it as long or short as you like. This disadvantage will likely go away whenever I attach the EMS as it will give me some extra length to work with.

Also remember, the more plugs/splices/joints you have in the line, the more opportunity for resistance and voltage drop you get. So just be careful and use good, high quality parts that fit together tightly, and be diligent in all your connections. That's one thing the original setup has going for it; there's only one connection, in the junction box.
