    I've been scratching my head on how to join a few cables under the seat. first option was a few twin bullet connectors, but I thought that was a bit untidy, so came up with this idea: A few bits of Delrin machined up to take a piece of all thread, a couple of nuts, a couple of Delrin washers and a couple of dome nuts, which I'll later replace with nylon domes. This setup allows several cables to be joined and insulated, negating any accidental short circuits. In reality, it'll only join three, maybe four, cables. I call it 'attention to detail'...

    In my experience bullet connectors are unreliable so I use spades instead. Your solution is a good one as cables especially earths can be joined to one point. Your attention to detail has become obvious in your posts, its all looking very neat. I have found a complete modified rewire with only two colours can get confusing so I use temporary In-Sure or Wago connectors until it all checks out and then go round making permanent ones.
