Ivy: Better Connections

That loose wire was really bothering me, especially since after I took two minutes to actually think about it clearly, it was obvious that it was the wire from the switch to the 4-way splitter.

Went back down to the garage and checked and sure enough, that very wire popped free as I was messing with it.  It was a single wire going into two but the single side wire was too small to really be held by the larger gauge joint.

So I added a second "dummy" wire just for the added filler and redid the connection.  Worked a treat.

Also realized that I had added in two connectors for the ground, but had just never bothered to switch from the alligator clips to the bullets.  So did that and got rid of the two small alligator clips to ground.  Now there's just the one big one left.  Sanded down the metal again and this time applied some dielectric.  So it's still not the 100% mechanical connection I want, but I feel a lot better with just the single giant clip instead of having all three.


Also tested using the Dremel to cut the outer housing of the Venhill throttle cable.  Worked pretty well.
