Two screws and that rubber fitting comes out and the bar will fit flush

Zip tires ok but wire nuts no thx. I splice everything with the crimp connectors with built in heat shrink

This is temporary. Im re-running wires later I just wanted to get it in quick. All I had was wire nuts I didn't have anything else to use. (I learned about these damn wire nuts while doing my halos... Had 3 fall off and the rest got corroded and crap)

Best looking and best way but its too much of a process. Have to get a heat source etc. I like butt connectors cause all I need are some wire strippers and some electrical tape and im good to go. :favorites13:
