I've been talking to McMark for some time about the MS/ignition upgrade. I decided to to take the plunge a few weeks ago and asked Mark to put it on his schedule.

Jeff (JSConst) had bought a kit from Mark and decided not to use it, so I bought it from him. All of the pieces are together and Mark has time starting on Sunday.

Unfortunately, my time is limited so I may not participate much. I will add updates as I learn of them, or Mark may do that if he has the time.

That's a good idea. I'm going to try shielding the VR sensor first because this harness was a prototype and doesn't have the same shielding rwilner's harness did.
