The Harbor Freight crimper is pretty decent. $70+ the 20% off coupon makes them pretty inexpensive.
I bought basically the same crimper but from amazon. Be careful though as mine came with metric dies and i had to improvise on the 4ga terminals for my mids amps. It still works, but isnt quite as pretty.
Did you see the size wire they were crimping with that?
Gulp!

Yeah... did you see the size of those strands?! Basically crimping solid copper right there...
holy crap dude, looks good, need to see finish product
Just though i would bump this and say there isnt much going on with the build right now. All my monies are going to important stuff right now. I did get the mechman alt installed but i need to make a better bracket for it since it isnt a direct fit alt. I can pull my bracket off and modify it but i would rather find an extra to work on so i dont have to have my car down for a week while i work on mine.
So if anyone has an extra lower alt bracket for a 2.0 I would consider buying it.
That's probably going to be a junkyard item.

I know, But i cant seem to find a junkyard around here with a 3rd gen. Most the local places don't keep stuff that old around anymore since there is no demand for the parts. Most of them have gone to the scrap yard sadly.
Just have to keep going back until you find what you need. Junkyards are tricky like that. I don't think you're going to find the piece any other way. Even with a big parts availability, that would be a difficult piece.

I guess I could post up a picture of the car itself, Its a bit dirty and has a ding by the rear taillight where a deer ran into it. Other than that dent it is straight. It could have been a lot worse though, he just clipped the rear fender and it can be fixed pretty easy.
Also, can anyone tell me what car these wheels came from, i can't find any pictures of 3rd gen accord with these wheels on them, they are 14" and have a honda logo in the center.
I'm guessing they are maybe off a let 90's Civic? Can anyone confirm that?
I know the Civic HF from the 90's had alloy wheels, but I thought there were more spokes and they were 13".
Civic HX wheels.
I have a whole alternator bracket, it should have everything with it. Personal junkyards are the best.
Since that pic, I've scrapped the shell, replaced the hatch with a coupe, and added another sedan.
those are what ive been rolling on for almost a year nowloving them so far

Saying awesome to this project is just not enough. Looks too good ducky.
Thank you, hope you post pics of what you put in your car. You have a trunk or hatch?
Thank you too!
Sorry about the lack of progress on this, All i have right now is the 240 amp alt is in but i had to do some grinding on the bracket to get the alt to sit far enough forward for the belt to align. It's not perfect but this spring i will get a new one made.
Projects stall out, it happens. We just have to remember to get back to working on them when the timing is right.
