For some reason whoever put my 2+2 together hadn't a clue about electrics. Although he used an existing loom he chopped and changed it, felt that twisting wires together with sellotape insulation was a good way to do things and that the thickness of the wire was irrelevant to the current going through it... One thing: those blue butt connectors? If you don't have the *professional* tool that makes a proper hexagonal job, forget it - particularly with different thicknesses of wire. The only clean way to extend cables is to twist inline, solder - with a big enough iron! - and heat-shrink over the joint.
