Acquired new scare light. Brake wiring installed.

---------------------------------------------------

We received a new scare light from Vintage Trailer Supply. The Grote 60311 is an almost exact match to the old Signal Stat light.

The brake wiring is connecting using waterproof twist-on wire connectors. I had planned to use waterproof butt-spices, but decided to use twist-on connectors to make future maintenance easier.

The wiring is connected. Zip ties are used to secure the wiring to the axle. The temperature was right at freezing today, so the PVC sleeving on the wiring was difficult to manipulate. Also, the plastic zip ties were stiff and could not be pulled completely tight. I left the pig-tails on the zip ties so that they could be tightened on a warmer day.

The wiring is run forward from the axle to the tongue thru existing clips in the "C" channel.
