Default Beru Delete Tonight

If there was one thing I hated about my motor it was the stupid Beru ignition wire straps on top of the fan. Stupid, stupid, stupid brainfart idea some German had that day.

My solution was inspired by countless race cars that have done the same. I used #10 rubber insulated cable clamps. Simple. Clean. . . and $.30 each at the Orchard Supply that is going out of business down town. It ain't done, but it's getting there.

What do you think?

That was one of the last things I got from automotion.com several years ago.

They told me it was that, or red.

That's pretty tidy but I'm partial to this look.

You obviously have 8 or even 9mm wires.

I have 7mm wires and they just flopped around looking stupid.

i think the black and silver loop things look kind of gheto. I prefer them to mount very flat if you can following the curve of the housing . looks much neater in my opinion.

Clive, coming from you, I'll take ghetto as a massive compliment.

The reason the wires were separate in the original configuration was to minimize induction. Less of a chance for a misfire.

Trust me...they're not that shiny right now but it still has the look.
