Bird, I took it to mean that the earth lead had been twisted together then taped over, rather than replacing it with a single piece of wire...

It looks to me like Bubba ex-pertly fab-crafted this beauty from 2 pieces of cable (one red, one black) twisted the ends together and then covered his workmamship over with black electrical tape. That makes this mod "special" in my eyes..

Yeah I just re-read his message and it doesn't make any sense 
We need to start a donate shiny stuff to turtle thread
I have a drop base but no lid. Maybe you can get rid of the stock assembly with no wipe

Yeah they have pretty crappy codes
We had to use a non reversible way of connecting the two wires. It was either buy a 500 dollar hydraulic machine or braze it.
I don't see why it has to be irreversible as it's pretty easy to cut

Yea, got it to the point where it will drive out of the garage a couple weeks ago. Then the brake booster went sshhhhh, when I pressed the pedal. Always something . Took 2 weeks off the C3 so I could rebuild the C4 motor and do some mods. Its my daily driver so it gets priority.

Here's another example: If I pour 3'x18' concrete, 6" thick, I need a permit, moisture barrier, reinforcement and termite treatment. Now.. this is not a foundation - it's a darn walkway to my front door.... but if it's poured in place it's considered a foundation... at least that's what I was told at the building dept.... now, the same guy (at the building dept) told me that if I pour it in a form, f.e. 6 blocks 3'x3' each...and then set the blocks in place... then I don't even need a permit
