If you are using a GFI breaker, there is no issue to use wire nuts and a splice. I wouldn't use braded wire. It doesn't like wire nuts and solid wire and braded wire doesn't like to be put under a screw on a recpt. Go with solid wire, as others said, twist the solid wire before using a wire nut. If you are worried about the nut comming lose, there are wire nuts used on appliances that crimp on. Should be no issue, any current leak because of a splice comming loose, should trip GFI.
However if you are using a GFCI recept, hope you have enough cubic inches to use wire nuts. The GFCI's take up a lot of room.
In Indiana, the only thing the building inspector looks at is your ruff wiring. As long as that looks good, they sign off.
The way I look at it is if your splices are inside an approved box, you are good to go.
I've yet to see a NEC cop snooping around my place or here of an NEC cop handing out a ticket. So if this is an add on recpt and no inspector, you are good to go.
My advice is only worth what you are paying for it. LOL

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
