I have the need to splice into an existing GPS Serial Out wire on my 

430W to facilitate a run to the new ACK E-04 GPS Serial In.  I've read 

the Aeroelectric article on solder lap splices here: 

http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Solder_Lap_Splicing/Solder_Lap_Splices.html.



I am wondering if a similar technique can be used when you don't have 

two "free ends".  Is it ok to strip a .3" section of the existing wire 

and then lap solder the new splice wire to it following the above 

technique?  If so, what it the best way to cover the lap splice as heat 

shrink could not be placed around the existing wire run in this case?  

Silicon tape or something?

    some kind of tape would work. I think I'd cut

    the existing cable so that you could handle the

    junction as three wires take advantage of the

    neater outcome for using heat shrink.
