Ricardo starter pigtail

Since a year's passed I'll try again finding one.

Did anybody ever find a pigtail for the Ford GT starter and isn't just wedging a connector onto it and hoping it doesn't fall off? i found 3 possibilities

- buy a starter wiring harness for $800 (lulz)
- buy 5,000 of them from a manufacturer (lulz lulz)
- try to buy it off a wrecked ford GT (but the owners kept pussying out on me and wouldn't sell)

Still no pigtaileeeee for alex

Re: Ricardo starter pigtail

Alex,
Cam has over 4000 miles and I don't know how many track days. I haven't heard one complaint about his method failing. Stop beating yourself up and just use a spade connector.

Re: Ricardo starter pigtail

Okay, I know when I'm beat; I removed the weatherpak seal and stuck on a spade connector.
