    Man! Attention to detail is what it's all about. Tidy wiring sets it apart from the "also-ran" builds.
    Takes longer but the results are what matters. It's a work of art!

    Such a great idea with the wire standoffs to support the cables. I used some #4 solid copper I had laying around and it worked really well. A little heat to keep it from cracking apart and some spray paint when it's done, I'm really happy how it came out. Thanks for this video, it really helped me out.

  • @barryellis7283

    The details separate the men from the boys. Your approach is the same as mine. Good work and done without expense. I usually put the boot on first before crimping the end on…just me. Great video, Bob.

    I like that idea, might just modify it a bit and steal it:) I have found a good lubricant for the spark plug wires while installing the boots is dielectric grease. Kills two birds with one stone.

    • @RatRodBobBuilds
      @RatRodBobBuilds  Год назад

      Maybe but most vehicles have all those things hooked to the front of the engine and wires and hoses running everywhere to make the creature comforts work. Paint ain't gonna help that much. That's why the JYD is barebones. I think the engine bay should look as good or better than the rest of the ride.

    The wire loom setup looks great Bob. Inventive and effective + you did it yourself. Always gives me more pleasure when I do it myself and it still looks good. It's gotta look good or it's got to be redone some other way. I am NOT OCD - I am CDO (alphabetical order) I'm going to try this mod myself.

    Absolutely love your attention to detail on every build you have shared with us. It may be a little time consuming, but as the old saying goes, you can't rush perfection.

    At work we use isopropyl alcohol for lubricating and cleaning electronic parts and terminals. It doesn't leave any residue or cause corrosion, it isn't corrosive, and it works for removing flux from soldered joints as well. Oh, it also removes Sharpie ink. We use the high-purity stuff at work, but at home I use the 91% from the store. I like those terminal crimpers, too, they ensure a good solid crimp. Nice setup!

      I've been meaning to get some of that spray but I ain't got it yet .. ain't never used it. So I have a question ... can you pull the boots back off later when you use the silicone spray?

I did mine similar to yours but didn't do the standoffs from the valve covers....lol...I'm doing it now!!! Next is the rest of the electrical butchery under the hood of er!!!

    RRBob. Here's a zip tie tip. I worked for the phone company for 47 years and used zip ties for about 40. If you don't have the official tightening/cutoff tool, you just use wire cutters. The problem with that is there remains a very sharp end. I have several scars on my arms to prove that. Anyway, you can melt the end with a lighter or, if in a tighter spot, a soldering iron. Hope this helps.
