Need to get some 14AWG in there to up it to 22A max.
Hit me up for some milspec #16AWG Teflon wire, it'll handle 22A and is about the size of the #18AWG you use (it has more strands in a tighter wrap, therefore much smaller size but high current levels. Just what's needed for aerospace useage). You have your choice of white or orange.
