Beavis Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 As some of you are aware i made my own grounding kit some time ago, and i made one for Ozz who reported a big improvement in his radio reception. I am toying with the idea of making a few sets as i can get the cable and all the lugs etc and now that copper prices have reduced somewhat, i thought i may be able to offer these at a competitive price to the members. I also have the proper crimping and heat shrinking tools to make these things up.So the kit would include six cables with proper lug connections and heat shrinked ends and i will throw in some cable ties too. The kits would be made up of the following black 25mm multi strand tri-rated cable and these are for the 276/296 bhp VQ35DE engine only. 1 x 16" cable 1 x 20" cable 1 x 26" cable 2 x 30" cables 1 x 32" cable I am thinking of charging £35 per set plus p&p (which is approx £6). Of the £35 i am proposing a £5 donation per set to the forum. Ideally it would be ideal to sell these on a group buy basis (10 sets) as it makes it better to buy the cable this way. And also if there was enough interest people could make a bigger saving by buying these at Wales or other events if they were pre-ordered so then they could save on the p&p as i would bring some sets along. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE POST YOUR NAME. LIKE I SAID THIS IS JUST AN IDEA AT THE MOMENT AND IT WILL DEPEND ON ONTEREST SHOWN IF I DECIDE TO GO AHEAD. Quote
marzman Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Looks like a good deal.. can you do them in different colours? Quote

Beavis Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Just black for the moment for that OEM look. The problem with different colours is that for small amounts it will become more expensive. Quote
Beavis Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Dodgy seller And no more dodgy than the many people in finance who have brought this country to its knee's Quote

H5 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'd be interested Dave if there was a colour option. Or just a more bling grey / black, maybe a shinier finish or something. Quote

I see bud, quick quesion, have you noticed anyy difference ? No. But this does depend on how well your car is grounded from the factory. I made a set for Ozz and he told me his radio reception was much improved. I will enquire about other colour options and will see if this effects the price. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 If the radio reception improved it sounds like the chassis strap was poor. This can be done with just a single cable from battery to chassis (I have done it on mine for the car audio) the rest are all for 'engine' stuff. Price sounds good to me and if I did not have a free supply of bits I would go for it myself. Personally I always think the OEM look is the best unless you have major engine mods Quote
Stew Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'm sure you have good contacts Dave but if you can't get a good price then give me a shout and I'll see what the procurement guys that work for my Dad can do. They are on large discounts with a lot of suppliers. They might even have some in stock. Quote
