question on bulkhead connector bypass

understood. Hey, like my mechanic says, (who reminds me more and more of Jerry Seinfeld's), don't mess with that! If it ain't broke, leave it like the factory intended, those people actually were automotive engineers. lol. Lot of variables with this stuff - think you have a plan and then one of the components can start going bad and throw a wrench into the works.. I feel like I cleaned up that bulkhead connector mess enough to feel pretty good going forward - maybe it lasts another 50 years - I know I won't!
