968 Forums would like to welcome a new sponsor. Their name is Higher Connections. They have picked up the ball on the "Ice Shark" cable sets and have continued running with it, adding to it and further developing it along the way. To contact them, just click their sponsor button on the Home page or on the Index page.
here is a quick bio they wrote:
[color="#000080"]In 2002, Dan Wray (IceShark), a long-time Rennlist member, started making headlight kits/harnesses, for 944's. The results were amazing. Dan built a battery cable kit, with beefier Negative cables and a supplemental ground as well, to help cure the obviously poorly grounded engine. For added safety, he fused two of the Positive cables.
Proof of the ongoing design problem was illustrated in the summer of 2004, when there was a rash of 944 engine fires. Several were attributed to worn out battery cables. The cables should be checked periodically, as we have found bad cracks in about every main cable we've seen to date.
Unfortunately, Dan passed away in September of 2005. He had just started another run of battery & headlight cables, and his family sold the remaining inventory to me. Over the last two years, I've been building the battery cables, and have continued to use the exact same components that Dan used. My partner Charly started working with me about a year ago. Together, we've recently finished building more of the headlight harnesses.
So, for 968's, we are building more battery cables and are loooking into making several other things, but it will take some time to test, etc. For now, we are focusing more on battery cables, and can do about any custom length and/or gauge cable, that someone might need. Headlight cables are in the works, but not ready yet. Look for news on that soon.
Parts list for complete battery cable kit, will be sold for $310 shipped to anywhere in cont US. This was $350 if using Paypal, to buy from Dan Wray 3yrs ago, and he did not include one or two little things, that we are including. We will sell anything seperately that anyone wants too.
Thanks a lot![/color]
