do u know where got sell 12mm nut? for the alernator one....

i search in spare parts shops...no ones is selling...hardware shop oso dun hv....

izit necesary to ground all connector to negative side(battery)??

i tot can make a circle? batery conect to point A, A -B, B-C........at last..another point conect bc to batery...oso works i guess....looks tidy as wel....

er.. i am newbie here plz correct me if i wrong

if u connect like '-ve to A, A -B, B-C, C-D'
or..
'-ve to A, B-A, C-A, D-A'

so when the '-ve' wan to return to the battery..
seems like they must rush through the small route "-ve to A'
seems like bottle neck there
just same like we only add additionaly one ground cable only...


plz correct me if i wrong

Not if -ve to A is a thick cable.

[khguan]

normally de thread(gigi) dat ngam for car 12mm nut thread is 13mm nut from harware shop..

de reason de thread not ngam is bcos most hardware shop nuts are in inches size... not mm...

4awg? You sure that it's speaker cable?

How you crimp the lug to the cable?

Anyway, nice job but seems like you didn't get a correct layout..

 

[tikuruok]

yeap. nice job. i did mine too on my kenari. anyway, c-ground, how's the correct layout? mmm...anyone care to tell me where's the alternator. im confused which one it is. is it near to the oil filter? one more, where did u guys get your heat shrinking tube? seems that i can't find it over in kk. haven't survey out much though. right now still using electric tape to seal the cable after crimping it on the lug.

 

[khguan]
