[DML] Re: Relay/Fuse Upgrade

["Tomcio" <tomciodmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I don't understand one thing here... Read the quotes below and tell 
me which kit is better. In my opinion those original connectors HAVE 
to replaced. What you say about cutting the wires is actually THE 
way to do it. You do want to replace those spade connectors with 
larger and stronger ring connectors. And that is what this eBay kit 
offers. And the fan fail unit doesn't look anything like 
that 'factory' jumper. In my opinion it looks like a very strong 
unit. I like it.
Let's be fair here. I have one of those kits from this guy in my car 
and I feel that he is selling a great kit. I replaced the original 
C/B connectors, all the C/Bs, fuses and relays. I'm very happy with 
the kit and that is why I'm defending this guy.
