Whilst at work today I made my own grounding kit!!

 

Made with 'heavy duty' industrial 'flexi' cable with ends crimped on, looks pukka and didn't cost me a bean!! :cool:

 

I shall be fitting these to replace my 'trial' grounding kit on Friday morning, along with my induction kit (when it arrives ;) )

Too fishy mate, far too fishy..........

Matty.

have you soldered the ends on or just crimped them?

have you soldered the ends on or just crimped them?

 

Wires were soldered, ends put on then crimped. Once fitted the ends will get a little covering of silicon grease to keep out any unwanted moisture :)

 

Matty.

Matty,

 

What are the connection points in the engine bay, and what gauge are the cables?

 

Thanks

 

John

Highlighted the area's with read circles (more square....LOL)

 

The ones with Arrows are out of site but you can get a rough idea of where they are.....

 

Any questions feel free to PM me...

 

 

I think the cable was 16mm (possibly bigger!) multi-strand cable.....will check for you tomorrow, too cold to mooch outside under the bonnet!! ;)

 

Matty.

Matty,

 

Thanks, thats great........will do mine this weekend....are you sure about the wire size ? thats almost 3/4" thick ?

 

Thanks

John

LMAO!!

 

10mm multi-strand cable (for easy flexing in bay) with 16mm ends crimped on!! (That's where I got the 16mm from :D )

 

Matty.

Thanks Matty, Now I get it............Im off to Maplin (or Halfords) tommorrow to get some.

 

Cheers

John

MAPLINS!!!

 

Don't go to Harry's they WILL rip you off!!

 

Maplins is 10 times cheaper and you get more for your money there too.

 

Matty.

Ok........Maplins it is..........I was just on their website, looks like they have a good selection of cables and clamps.

 

Cheers

Hiya Matty,

 

Quick Q: How much length of cable did you get to do this project?

 

See you soon matey!

I can't remember the exact length but it's best to measure your own!!

 

I think I got roughly 7 metres of it and cut to the sizes I measured and there was a little bit left over, but as I said best to measure your own....

 

:D

 

Matty.
