I ordered one, but had to be several years ago- no problems. Give him some time, I am sure he will come through. He has been providing those kits for years!

a month is a little long, but maybe the holidays delayed him. the email address i used with paypal was flat6turbo@rennlist.net.

I may be the most recent orderer. Ordered last month and received the kit within three weeks. It is now installed and works great. By the way, if you drill one mounting hole in the far front of the fuse panel mounting frame ('76 911) you can attach the new relay assembly sideways (wires facing foward). With that arrangement you can still use the plastic fuse cover and there are no holes drilled through any wheel wells.

I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago and received it in about 2 weeks. He is a stand up guy.

Hmm, I wonder if maybe it got lost in the mail, If I could only get him to reply to my emails.

Thanks

I got mine a few weeks ago, I think it took a week or 10 days and that was during the holidays. I wasn't in a hurry and I still haven't worked on installing it but I wanted to order while I had the address handy. I never tried to email him, though...

I also ordered mine December 15, and got it the first week of January.

I corresponded with Marcus via email this past Thursday about a relay kit and sent him a check via USPS on Friday. I used the flat6turbo email account to reach him.

I paid for the kit today and received a response from him for the payment.

I ordered mine Dec. 21....sent me an e-mail Dec. 27...said the holidays were keeping him busy. Recieved mine Jan. 4. Seems like a good guy. Try contacting again.

Howard, Can you post a picture please? I have a '76 and want to buy one of Marcus' kits too. I'd like a clean installation like you describe.

I'm afraid that I'm digitally challanged (not my fingers, the computer). I have the camera but don't know how to post a photo to the forum. When you receive the relays and re-read my mounting description I think the arrangement will be self evident.

By the way, I love my '76 too. Light, narrow, low end torque. Almost unfair in an autocross.

Hey Dan..
A few have mentioned using double-stick mounting tape. Some are leary of extra holes.

I had a similar problem when I ordered up my first one. I emailed him and he said that he received my payment, but he was out of them. I don't think it was a week later and I got it in the mail. The second one I got showed up really fast. So maybe he's got them on backorder or something?

He's a stand up guy though I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for your delay.

Good Luck!!!

For the rest of you guys I used an existing bolt under the front carpet. NO drilling and NO tape. I used the same bolt in both my cars and works perfectly. If you some of you are interested I can take a pic when I get home tonight and post it here.

What is this item?

wcc · 01-18-2006, 10:10 AM

It's a relay kit that hooks up to take the stress off of the headlight switch. Even with factory headlights it's still a good idea to add this relay. It is a inexpensive ($25) upgrade.

BTW...I love my H4 set up with 100watt bulbs now with relays. Matter of fact I just got through cooking breakfast in front of the new bulbs....ha ha ....Boy they put out some serious light!
