80466, Question about J Woodleys Ground Wire Kit
Posted by reeveso, Sep-12-04 07:05 AM
everything goes in fine..except i think theres somethin wrong w/ the bolt that goes to the throttle body...if you look on his install page, letter D http://home.graffiti.net/jbmperformance/temporary.html....therse supposed to be 2 diff. wires that go into that bolt..well i can BARELY fit 1 in there..it doesnt tighten all the way..im thinkin the inside of it might be stripped or somethin...but i wanna get all of the dam kit on and it wont :(...is there anywhere to buy a longer bolt of the same size so it goes down in there farther?

you can buy a onger bolt just go to the hardware store. Or you can retap the holeif its stripped and heli coil it.

Here is another tip.....solder thaose damn terminations on that wire, that looks like shit and will corrode and be useless. Buy heat-shrink and cover then up once soldered. Woodley should be b-slapped for that.

no worries Terry! :thumbsup

that was my "prototype" or sorts. don't think the final product looks like that. it is covered in heat shrink, no problems with the connections, etc. if you get bored and want to search, several members have posted up final product pictures. a longer bolt should allow for enough play to compensate for the terminals. good advice.
