Strikes me as a Bad idea.


Strikes me as a double unplus BAD idea.



The problem, as I see it, is the posibility of a small short creating
an ark,


I'm sure Noah could use the ark.



(Most engine fires are fueled by oil, not by gas.)

How much weight are you going to save going this route? Think about
replacing your 2 AWG with 1AWG aluminum instead.


And I'd also do the calculation to see just how much weight loss there is
between #2 copper and #1 aluminum. I'd bet you aren't saving a hell of a
lot and getting the aluminum oxidation problem on top of it.
