Tired of everyone saying you have to replace the whole harness on a Cessna 172 for a single broken wire
I had a chafed wire in the wing root on a 1978 172 last week and everyone said pull the whole harness. I just spliced in a 6 inch section with the correct gauge and heat shrink, saved about 8 hours of labor and it passed the megger test. Has anyone else found that the FAA regs are actually fine with proper splices if you do it clean?

Yeah, most things are like that. People love overcomplicating simple fixes.
