I was about to install my MPGuino, and after some difficulties finding the ECU to tap into (every diagram I could find showed it at the top of the glovebox, so image my surprise when I found it at the bottom) I tried locating the wires I'd need to tap. I've got some rather detailed schematics and pinouts, but the problem is the wires themselves.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen electronics with wires this thin. I had some 22-24 gauge wire ready to go (and some cheater clip taps) but the wires coming out of the ECU are about the size of half the actual cable including the insulation! Clip taps are totally not going to work at all, so I guess I really need to solder the taps in but I don't know if I'll damage the cable irreparably by trying to solder them...

I'll get a pic up in a few for comparison, but should I be worried about damaging the cables or am I just being paranoid?
