[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 268237, member: 7544"] I'm sure you will get different suggestions on "how to", so I'll just say that (if it were me). I'd remove the circuit breaker, then using some good quality insulated crimp butt-splice connectors, connect the new additional ground wire to the end of the existing ground wire. Then connect what ever type end (ring terminal, TM plug, etc) to the ground wire. Using another butt connector, connect the additional + wire to the original + wire at the spot where you removed the breaker. Now connect the breaker back into the circuit like it was setup previously except that this time it will be installed in a section of the new 8 gauge wire. You want to keep the breaker located close to the battery connection on the + side. [/QUOTE]
