That doesn't look anything like an IceShark kit, it looks like something someone made with some terminals and welding wire. If they were done well they should be pretty good, definitely better than 25+ year old cables. All the IceShark kits have looked similar to the following, note the extra fuse, braided coverings, Mil-Spec terminals, etc.: https://rennlist.com/forums/11102187-post46.html

John's harness it is, according to my research not only on par but maybe superior than the ice shark harness, anybody got the installation instructions?

Like Doug said, it's a harness made by JohnKoaWood. Better than the Iceshark kit IMO because of the quality wire used. Bends better than the welding wire Robby uses. I've got this kit on three of my 944s and they work great.

I dont think this is a better Kit than the one Robby is selling. Have you guys seen it? Or better yet actually see how it preforms? There is even exposed live wire in the kit above. Does this kit also include that upgraded voltage regulator for the alternator like the one Robby offers in his kit?? this Kit looks like it only has one layer of shielding while Robbys kit has 2. This kit also does not have the supplemental ground like the one Robby has in his kit.

I can take a picture of the Ice Shark harness installed. I have two complete sets on both of my cars, both the battery and headlight/driving light harnesses with additional grounding. I don't think anything could be better than these kits,
Possibly on par, but not better.


Quick Reply: is this a original Iceshark battery kit?
