Evan did a great job, I'll say that. |
Nice Job!
Great job, Evan!
As Hannibal Smith of the "A Team" would say, "I love it when a plan comes together!" Hopefully this work will head off future electrical gremlins from your Porsche! |

Doing this upgrade definitly saved me from several future electrical disasters! |
Could you give a little info on the tool you used for crimping your wires. I am also looking into doing this upgrade and am looking for the same tool.
Cheers Trevor |

Its made by Knipex in Germany, and it worked well for me. I actually bought it as part of an assortment of crimp connectors that came in a nice storage case, but you can also just buy the tool. I found that after initially crimping a connector, it helped to reposition the connector in the tool and crimp it again. the tool is made such that it crimps two narrow bands on the connector end, and by repositioning it I could get a solid crimp over the whole end. You'll see what I mean when you try the tool for yourself. I see that Knipex also sells in the US and has lots of choices, I just bought the first one I could get that would do the job but browse here: Knipex crimping pliers ''PreciForce'' 97 52 36 Knipex crimp assortments Link to assortment kits, I got 97 90 21. I see thay also have a kit including a wire stripper, good to have if you don't have one already. Good luck! evan |
Knipex are really awesome tools. I love mine!

That's a steep tool investment, but almost undoubtedly worth it.

Looks excellent, nice work and congrats again to Fred.
This option was too expensive for me, but my fuse box was failing in little ways and causing issues repeatedly. I followed Algernon's plan and rebuilt mine on my own. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/810035-sick-time-update-my-sc-fusebox.html Either way, you can't go wrong getting rid of the old fuse box. Just save it in case someone down the line wants OEM parts more than they want easy care of their fuses. |
