a couple of the wire wraps are the bottom wires. i wasn't dicking with it. i still don't feel that great and i am not on top of my game.
i have zero issues splicing and heat shrinking the meter wires.
hitachi went ghetto first my gluing the damn meters in. i wouldda left them hang but i was not going to let the entire faceplate hang by those 4 wires.
i'm trying to get this buttoned up today if i can. it's been on the bench for too long and my shop is really going to hell around it. i don't wanna lose screws.
