Reasonably straight forward. The rigid wire with the hard insulation coating is hard to work with (i.e. strip insulation off in order to solder). The braided wire is also hard to work with (seems to be super fine copper wires, also with some kind of coating or silicone lubricant inside the casing). Of course where it was burned I had to cut back and strip, making things not as long as I'd like. Ended up OK but you could only repeat the repair so many times. I added heat shrink tubing to protect and mechanically strengthen the connection. I reused the hog ties, if I remember correctly.
I did NOT use metal foil tape and had a hard time coming up with something of appropriate properties to manage and protect the wires while being flexible, strong and non-conductive.
