Dr. G: Have you thought about how you would go about replacing the
aluminum wiring in your '68 Caravel? I'm nervous about the aluminum wiring
in my '68 Tradewind. Seems I've read about house fires being blamed on
aluminum wiring. Can coper wire be pulled through the existing runs?
Surely it's way more complicated that that. Anybody replaced the factory
wiring with good stuff? Is there any way to modify the existing aluminum
wiring so it can be used safely and doesn't need to be replaced? Or is the
existing wiring not that much of a problem?
