Thanks Pablo/Wokka!
Well, since there are no dumb questions..... here's one more.
I bought a bunch of braided shielded wire with my kits to upgrade them, as I heard the braided/shielded was better. But with the braid exposed on the outside, rather than as a wire inside the coated wire (explaining poorly, I know), is there any issue with things contacting that shielding ? When I'm running a ground wire between things, can I just get rid of that shielding since I only need the one ground wire, or what else do I do with it. Maybe I should have just bought regular wire or just reuse the factory wire?
