Default Wires on the Infinity Stick

Couple Questions:
Can I remove the Blue covering and foil from the infinity stick grip wires? I need to separate my wires in order for them to fit in my stick tube.

What are the 2 wires that are lose in the bundle. One is a solid metal wire type no covering and the other is a black wire. They are not hooked to anything and Not sure where they would go.

Thanks

I did that and had no problems....Don't know what the extra wires were for, did not use them.

The wire with no insulation is for connecting the foil shield to the airframe (physical) ground.

The black wire could then be used for virtual ground, or zero voltage potential in your avionics suite.

Default Grip

Does anyone know if It would cause problems if I didn't use the bare wire or the extra ground wire and removed the foil as well?

Default Ask JD

Why not ask JD? He is very easy to contact per the number and hours on his web site and is most helpful with installs on his products.
