Beavis's Grounding Kit


Beavis

Recommended Posts

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.

Just black for the moment for that OEM look. The problem with different colours is that for small amounts it will become more expensive. ;)

 

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. ;)

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

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.
