I used a 5 foot length of 25-pair as a frame-to-engine ground wire on a 1973 Porsche 914, just to get home. The factory ground wire was spot welded to the frame, and bolted to the engine. The spot weld broke. I cut off the Amphenols, used a Bernzo-Matic to get rid of the insulation at both ends, and made a ring at each end by soldering the wires into a loop.

It worked for a few hundred miles until I got home, and probably would have worked forever. I have never figured out what the equivalent wire gauge would be, of 50 strands of #24. I guess I should do that one of these days.
