Cathy, 8ga (dunno how many 10 gauge wire = what size ga total...)
But they have a series of different sizes that could solve your issue.

->OKay, here's another one. When you're building the harness

->surrounded with electrical tape and shrink tubing. But what's
->the best way. I got a sneaking suspicion I have another bunch
