I was planning on using the existing wiring since it appears to be OK. My concern was when I put the PVC pipe over the metal pipe weather or not to run the wires down the inside of the metal or the outside. I like the idea of the inside cause it acts like conduit and will protect the wires till they reach the frame. Only problem is I cant get the wires thru the bend with it kincked the way it is. It looks like I will have to run down the outside and secure it as soon as it leaves the PVC until it reaches the frame.

I will either use wire nuts or butt splices, either way I have some Dow Corning 111 non hardening silicone paste I use to keep corrision and water out. If needed I can redo the splice without shortening the wires.

Your idea sounds good also but I am trying to do this (against my better judgement) as easy and quick as I can. I know I will probably regret it later but for now I need to get it wet soon.
