Wherever the wiring runs thru a wall, I suggest using rubber donuts to reduce the chance of the wire being frayed on a sharp surface. If you really want to go all out run the wiring inside conduit. That step is justified considering the critical safety nature of brake wiring!!! Nothing like hitting the brake pedal for a panic stop and finding out that your trailer brakes are shorted out!!!

Thanks for the tips. I'm considering running the wires inside plastic flex and tie wrapping it to the outside of the axle. That way it will be easier to examine if I have any problems in the future. I wonder what the original wiring insulation is made of?
