Four small crimp connectors (solder would probably be better, but my iron failed to heat up), Two 3" pieces of 14GA primary wire, and four 1" pieces of heat shrink to make sure nothing shorts....works great, and only took about 1/2 hour to complete.

PS - If you go this route, the wires leading to the original resistor are very short. Cut them as close to the old resistor as possible to make splicing easier/possible.
I'd rather not splice anything if I don't have to. Since mine is a 92, should I get a resistor from another 92? Or should I go for a 97 since it's a later year and probably a better resistor?
