That would be our very own James Adams.
Check our vendor listing. I have it (not installed yet), and it looks and feels as advertised. |

Nice but to rich for my blood. I'll wait till mine gives out.
Good work though. Looks professional. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Thanks for the kudos.
The install requires two 1/4" holes to be drilled in the fuse/relay plate (the black metal panel that unbolts from the car). Then it is all plug-and-play - just swap the wires over. It would be wise to clean all the original wire terminals while you are in there, so I would give it an hour for the job. |

how's the "irritation" or annoyance factor while you're under there doing that?

QUOTE(seanery @ Jan 26 2004, 09:17 PM) how's the "irritation" or annoyance factor while you're under there doing that? That's pretty hard to quantify! Access is not really a problem, as it hangs down (you don't have to do it while upside-down or anything like that). The biggest issue would be keeping the wire positions straight, and if you are methodical in swapping it should not be a big deal. I included the wire colors that go to each fuse on the cover labels, so that will help out, too. |

Can we do a group buy!?!?!?!
Just kidding James. Thanks for knocking out another great product. When my car finally makes it back to the streets, it will be shifted courtesy of your shifter. |

Very nice. I would caution people that the quick disconnect receptacles on the wires are quite brittle. I had to remove one and when I put it back on it seemed a little loose so I tried to bend it a bit with some pliers. I was very careful to only bend it a little bit but it still cracked and I had to replace it.

Considering the limited market, I'm very pleased that someone was willing to put all of the work into producing one of these! I'm putting this on my list of things to do this summer (the list is getting crowded and expensive!).

I broke out the credit card and I should have it in a few days. I'll let everyone know how the install goes. My big problem will to find the missing yellow wire that should have been attached to my right headlight fuse. I didn't know why the light wasn't going on (new car) until I pulled out the old fusebox.......
