If the cable is no smaller than the original cable size, I'd go for it.
It's probably triple the size of the copper one that was on it and has a lot thicker insulation, I am wanting to keep ALL the wiring out away from the pullies and and belts......including the solenoid.........thanks for the reply.....

So far so good unless the cable will be in the weather. Al cable will be greef if allowed to corrode which it will do even if dry but open to any air. Oxygaurd is a product that will promote conductivity and minimize corrosion.
