Bob,
what is the best method to extend the EGT/CHT cables?
I'm doing a panel upgrade and need to add about 6" to each.

Get the same exact type of cables you have on each sensor now. IIRC,
the minimum add-on is 12 inches but I don't remember why.
Aircraft Spruce has some at pretty good prices. You could get a 6
footer and cut it down to what you need.

And, Bob...remember that the connecting wire itself is part of the thermocouple can affect the reading if not matched, connected or handled correctly. If you want to do it the way the professionals do (or did, in my case...retired <G>)connecting the wires mechanically with connectors whose metal parts also match the wire type is preferable. Soldering them may cause a degradation in the accuracy, especially if the joint is in a location where the temperature may be different.
Read everything you ever wanted to know (and a lot you don't care about) thermocouples here:
www.omega.com/temperature/Z/pdf/z021-032.pdf
Omega also has the connectors you want.
