Steve,
Don't think I could have said it any better!
For everyone's info, the 4 red wires being talked about are:
2 4.0 mm wires, one runs to the KEY switch at #30 and the other runs to the fuse block and ties fuses 10, 11, and 12 together on the unfused side to the battery.
The other 2 wires are 2.5 mm and both run to the relay panel in the engine comp. Positions 12 and 14 of the 14 pin connector.
Sent an e-mail to order enough parts for 5 kits today. We will see how long that takes. I want to get mine done with pics and test it before I send any out. Really don't see any problems tho'.

It would be interesting to know how and why a fire originated in the 14 pin connector. and why the fuses for some of the circuits that go through there failed to protect the wiring.

It is possible to put the 14-pin connector on while it's off by one position (ask me how i know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ).

That'll get you plenty of smoke in no time if the battery is still connected.

Finally got it finished and tested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) All good. See first post for installation pics. You may not be able to see from the pics but I used two 20 amp fuses and two 25 amp fuses. Tried the starter, lights, turn signals which are the higher amperage loads, no problems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
If you are interested in this kit, be aware that it requires some rewiring and connection of lugs and proper connections are critical. I always use uninsulated lugs where possible and solder them at the lug end of the wire slightly just to be sure of a good connection. If one is careful, even insulated lugs can be soldered at the lug end without damaging the insulation. PM me if you are interested.

EDIT: the wires in the top picture are for illustration only, they are not the correct size.

I'm interested also. If for no other reason than I hate that clump of brittle old wires going to the battery terminal.

All of the kits have been spoken for. I would have to order some more parts to get more kits together. I'll get back to all interested later.
If any of the club venders would like to add this to their product line, let me know and I will send you all of the info. Ordering in small numbers is costly and time consuming.
Thanks,
Tom

I had no idea there would be such a demand. My first kits used the two white standoffs made out of solid PVC and machined on my lathe. The following kits will have these made from PVC pipe. If that is a problem for anyone, let me know.
The following have said they want a kit.

I will be ordering enough parts and wire for these kits over the next few days. Please bear with me and I'll get them ready as soon as I can.
Tradisrad and Montoys 73 2.0 , yours are ready to ship when the funds are received.
Payment is check or money order. I'll PM all involved with the address some time next week.
Thanks,
Tom

If you haven't ordered the extra parts yet, please add me to the list. If I'm too late, tough luck for me.

Tom, I just saw this thread. I would also be interested for the same reason as Gint. I hate looking at the hillbilly wiring on my positive post. Please put me down for one if you haven't already ordered the parts.

Thanks,
Ken
