the wire has been all ripped out. I got a piece of 1/0 that I had from princess auto, split the insulation, pulled out the copper and placed it the insulation around the sharp edges. The silicone is a good idea, I will put that in as well. I really don't know any other way to get at the edges because I tried bending them over but its just too hard to get access to do it plus the metal is pretty stiff lol. Perhaps i will check out the split loom as the insulation method will probobly cut easily enough as well
