I think I’ll go with the HV cable and sleeving too, as you say it saves cost and I’ve still got a lot to sort out. I’ll also get some HV tape to wrap around the join. Just to make sure it’s secure and well insulated. Wasn’t sure if it was a good idea either

I can imagine it’s easy to get a shock from that connector. I always have my hand behind my back or in my pocket and always make sure I’m away from anything metal. Though the funniest thing is I’ve only ever been shocked by a TV when it’s off, never when it’s on. Touch wood...

Thanks for the help
