Well, I have been trying to call them for two weeks and no answering machine and no answer. I'm hoping it's because of this COVID-19 lock-down and not that they are going under or anything like that.

Can anyone answer my question? I noticed many good reviews about the wiring harness itself but I am not finding much info on the components. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, 190 bucks for their crimping tool? Has anyone found a tool that works just as well without breaking the bank?


Thanks!
I'm in the middle of putting in the 510089 Classic Update kit now. They must be closed due to the Coronavirus deal since I spoke to them a couple weeks ago and bought/rented the two crimping tools. Tried calling yesterday with a tech question and same as you got no answer. The crimpers are $85 each plus shipping then when you send them back within 30 days plus a grace period, 1 or 2 weeks I think, you only end up paying $25 for each tool. Obviously, your out the shipping charges though.

On a side note, the crimps look fine to me, and I don't even own a soldering iron, so I hope they hold without solder.
