A few group buys have been done through mouser/digikey/etc. where there was a large minimum order. I think reno was the last one asking about them.

Lart how many do you need?

I might know someone who has a few... but they dont list on Eaby, they deal solely through Email / private messages...

FWIW, the same tie wraps are used MANY more places on the car than just the firewall... like along the frame rails, under the bumper cover, under the car, in the rear hatch area just to name a few!

I'm sure my friend has a car he can count the studs in, and I'm pretty sure he has your address....

If I were a betting man, I would say keep an eye on your mailbox!

replace both harnesses, put the fuse box together, what a royal ultra ubber super pita, connected the battery and the car start it right up, now is time to put all together, now I am going to be honest with you guys but I didn't use no workshop manual, no notes no references it was all there.

don't mind me asking, but what are you doing? Is it coming apart or going back together?

is a car that I bought for my son and it had a hyfire 6 launch control and the connections to the coil were left exposed and it ground to earth causing a short circuit. Melted the black coil wire
