Trying to figure out the wire size on the harness

[t bone]

I have a 89 banshee and found out my exaust melted some of the wires and was going to put butt splices and add wire but not sure on the stranded size wire?

Factory is probably 18 gauge. I would use 16 gauge. I hope you are going to solder and heat shrink your connections. Crimp connectors are fine for car stereos, but should never be used somewhere that could leave you stranded.

Not trying to jack this thread but another gauge question for the motor to frame ground wire, what size should it be ?
