MAD Electrical

[Arctic_Ragtop]

I just posted this response in another thread and thought I should start my own thread to share my experience with MAD Electrical so far, for others who may be in the same situation. Just to clarify, I am a novice with almost-zero electrical experience and had only ever effectively-soldered once before embarking on this project.

I am in the process of replacing all of the wiring in my '65 Beaumont as I did not like the way the original wires were ran, nor how they looked underhood. There is far too much wire length to get 12v power from the battery to make the car start, so I began researching and feel like I made the right decision, although I am not done the project yet. I looked at all of the painless/AAW/Classic wire upgrade systems out there, but realized that putting new wires in place of the old ones doesnt fix the factory inefficiencies that the car came with. I did not like the Battery-Starter-Horn Relay Bruss Bar-Alternator-Dash-Ignition-N. Safetly Switch-Starter orientation. Way too much wire to get the required volts to activate the plunger on the starter solenoid on new mini-starter. And it looked sloppy.

I called Mark at MAD Electrical (Google search him out, best in the business IMO), and spoke with him for two hours about my plans and he sent me all the wiring to update this poor system to a system that will incorporate relays and a remote-mounted starter solenoid and make the entire electrical system not only much safer, but much more effective. The box arrived a little over a week after I placed the order, and the instrucitons provided are extremely clear and informative, and come with a CD Rom full of pictures to explain everything, as well as the tech behind how it all works. This was great for a novice like me who was intimidated by the thought of soldering. Now I am able to solder and rewire my entire car with confidence because I understand it all and developed new skills on the pricess. Do yourself a favor and at least search it out, give him a call, he provides a far better option, IN MY OPINION, than a kit with new wires and new fuses. he is quite the character, but is very experienced and likes to share so make sure you dont have anything to do for at least two hours before you phone.
