Pyro Install Questions

No, it's not about where to mount the probe, though I still haven't decided yet.

I received my ISSPro guage and SRT-10 A-pillar yesterday from Geno's. It seems that I will need to pick up some wire for the lamp power and ground. What guage wire should I buy?

I read about the Quiktaps working well, so I'm going use those to tap into the dimmer switch and cigarette lighter. I hope that I can find them at Walmart. For the ground, I suppose I can use some type of ring connector under an existing, grounded screw or bolt.

For the probe itself, I noticed that I received two different size threaded deals. One was already fitted to the probe. The other smaller, brass-colored one came in a separate box. Which should I use? It looks like many of the pictures I've seen have the smaller one installed.

Also, could someone describe the tapping process? Are the threads cut all the way into the drilled hole, or do you stop short of the bottom to give the threads a place to park against?

I'm sorry for the newbie questions. I've never tapped a pipe thread before and I'd hate to mess up.

Thanks,
David
