well got the wire ran, and used some of that self vulcanizing tape and electrical tape, the hole wasnt that big so it should be ok. I think thats where it shorted when it got caught in my door jam before lol.

you still got that bike?

Ive used that stuff before, on my motorcycle to close up a carb boot.

Also used it for a head unit install before. Dont like it, never again will I use it.

I would wrap it in electrical tape, the good stuff. Also use a fair amount... The tape can only hold back so much current...

Pull it apart and solder in a new cord. I have done a few drills with an old 50 or 100ft extension cord (back when I was working as a sheetrocker). It works pretty well.

well my drill having a short in it doesnt help much either lol

Get yourself a unibit.

That way when you run your wires, you can make the hole the size you need, slide in a grommet, and then the wire and your done.
