REPLACING ENGINE GROUND STRAPS
What company makes the ground strap "kit" that replaces all the grounds on the engine? I have seen a kit a few times that comes preassmebled with clean looking shrink tubed ends ready to bolt on. I thought it was Vitek... but I didn't see it on the website. Any help would be great. Thanks

Thanks Teken. I'd be heading to Radio Shack this weekend if I can find the time. Now if I could only find my soldering iron and heat gun...

I replaced a few of them, in the process of replacing the rest.
The ground, tranny, and battery I replaced with 6 gauge and gold terminals. The rest I plan to do with 10 gauge. The terminals on the old ones were copper, and had turned greenish.. eww

I've got a battery ground strap that I put together using gold-plated connectors and Soundquest 2AWG wire. If you want it, I'll trade up for your stock battery ground strap.

arospeed makes what you are asking about (not sure on spelling) they run a full page ad in most import mags.

Do you really need such "high quality" wire for grounding? Why not just go to Home Depot and get a few feet of 8-6 AWG?

Re: REPLACING ENGINE GROUND STRAPS (G2LSS)
Every little bit helps when it comes to your ignition. I'm at the point where the little stuff is really all I have left to do in the engine compartment. I'd make my own ground straps, but I'd rather have something done that will bolt in and be the professional quality that I can't do. I think I'm going to order the Arospeed wires... but I'm waiting to hear from someone that has them. I've never been very impressed with Arospeed's quality... not yet anyway.
