Cheers mate

Is it better to wire over the pod or throw the pod?

Glenn's right on gauge, 16 throughout.

Over or though, personal preference. Just make sure it can't snag on any car parts or the body, and the pod movement stays free at all times.

Personally I prefer to use a heavier wire for the battery connections for no other reason than these are the ones you pull on all the time and don't flex

Default TQ 16 Gauge-665 strand Extremely Silicone Wire

Hi Jason,

the best wire 'by far' is the TQ superflex 16 gauge wire!

Regards,
Bart
