He also said that if the insulation is streched and comprimised in any way, that the current can arc through it and ground on the bars.
I know this is probably back to basics of wiring for most, But I was not aware that the wire could bust inside the insulation.
I think my next step is replace all the wires cut an solder at one point and replace the clips on the end.

Your father in law is quite right, I work on robots and I have seen that where the insulation is fine but the wire has broken within the jacket. It's a real mind fuck!!!
Glad to see you got her going. Have you posted a picture of her with the new bars??
