Boost gauge wiring connection

[Nimzy]

Right people I'm about to do the wiring for my auto gauge boost gauge but suddenly come across a review on scotch locks which says they are crap! my question is, is it safe to use scotch locks and if not what have people used instead any pics would help greatly.

Be fine other way is cutting and using crimp connectors, or soldering.

Cheers Lee what type of wire can be used to extend the wiring?

 

[LEE69]

Any of the same thickness.

i used scotch locks... as long as you make sure you squeeze them tightly with some pliers, to make sure the "pin" punctures both wires... jobs a goodun. a friend of mine does that and then cable ties them shut to "be sure"

i took the gauge to my local motor factors when sizing the pod, and they just cut me lengths of red wires which i marked up when extending

i also used fuel lines when running the boost pipe for a more OEM look under the bonnet.

Scotch locks worked a treat nice and secure. However now have another problem but will be starting a new thread. By the way nice idea with the fuel line!
