Wasn't too bad. He cut the wire back to where the fitting slipped on, heated the end with the prop torch, and put in the solder.

Mine fit right in where the 2g used to be without any modification. Just unbolt 1, change in the new one.

I'd put the fuse on the fender, less vibration/ heat there

That pigtail has been replaced twice on my 89. Normal wear and tear believe it or not. make sure to goop everything up with dielectric grease
