I'm pretty sure that it is all copper wiring. Remember that weight includes all the connectors. I was surprised how heavy the box felt when I put it in that I just had to weigh it (yes, I subtracted the weight of the box)

The prize is an all expenses trip to your refrigerator for a beer on me.

I dunno but it looks like some monster that should be spewing sparks from its tenticles as it crawls away under a nearby bush!

Pretty cool picture actually.

I bet Kibort or Anderson know the answer!

Doesn't matter . . I just looked at it, that's a whole lotta headache there. I need to go lay down.

Yeah, yeah.
So what! I've been there, done that and STILL have Flashing lights and Master Caution warnings...
Crap, Last month I had to black tape the multitude of lights and warns. when I took Pattycakes in for inspection.
Now if you can gaet a fairly clear picture of the gremlins/ghosts I 'd really be impressed.
Come to think of it ....
Maybe the total weight of the Gremlins and Ghost's would explain the 3600lb weight of my 'plump' Weissach.
I'll give ya' an A for effort.
BTW
Might I be so bold as to ask why you went to such a serious extent as to remove the sHARKs nervous system?
Actually, when you lay out the wiring sans Lamp Control Unit and other oddities you almost swear the electrial team at Zuffenhausen WASN'T smoking dope when they designed the system....

John,

I'm doing a ground up restoration. Well, not quite a restoration since my Jacquemond kit arrives on Thursday - so essentially a ground-up rebuild

All I have left to remove is the suspension and I'll put the car on a rotisserie probably next weekend for media blasting.
