Join my group buy

Gold plated terminals, blue bling wires, correct lengths for LHD cars, all zip ties and bolts required to install it

Tommy what size bolts do you need to connect the wire to the back of the engine block?

I don't know off the top of my head. But it is metric for sure and you should be able to find it at your local hardware store.

I think 8 gauge should be more than enough.

8 gauge is definetly more than enough...4 is starting to get overkill.
