About Us

It started with a simple ad for a 1979 MGB with a Mazda 13B engine. “All it needs is motor mounts, gas tank and a carburetor” said the guy on the phone. $1850 and $150 to deliver it to Central Florida.     

This is a deal! A week later I was the proud owner of a white MGB missing the motor mounts but with six boxes of parts. Wow! Well ….. I needed the boxes and YES they didn't have everything I needed to get the car running. OK - you told me so!            

Well it took well over 2 years to get the engine and mechanical stuff sorted out. It's alive! Drives up and down the driveway (Don't tell the cops – and around the block).      

Just one thing: It had only three working wires! Two to the starter and one to the ignition. Two switches replaced the ignition switch.      

Sad, just sad for a real car guy and an engineer.  The British Lucas system was a mess. Well that is an understatement. The kid that sold me the car had butchered the whole system. He was a big fan of lamp cord. All of one color.           

 That is where MY project stopped! I went down to my auto parts store. I looked at advance auto parts and fuse boxes for $60. I looked at wiring kits with long wires and a fuse box starting at $ 130 to over $899. I looked at a complete new replacement wiring harness for the MGB for about $879. I didn't like any of those options.          

Wait - On a message board someone wrote about a modular car wiring system. I took a long hard look at it. This thing had everything and more than I needed. This is what I needed, wanted!         

STOP – Did I see the price tag? Over $2600 for the options I wanted. That was more than I paid for the car!     Well I got a ton of wire, lots of colors and sizes from SkyCraft in Orlando, a Orlando surplus shop.          

Well the MGB got shoved in the corner on my one car garage. I still didn't want to spend the time to rip out and replace every single wire. I wanted a better solution. Time heals all wounds. The poor thing sat for 4 years.         

Fast forward to 2016! My co-worker, let's call him Bob, shows me a single chip computer. Wow, small, fast, powerful and affordable! I wonder what I could create with it.       

What now? Well the single chip computer has a lot of inputs and outputs. What else can I get. Well globalization has one advantage – unlimited cheep hardware.            

Wait - The MGB project in my garage!      

Could I create a modular car wiring system that had all the features and options I wanted and needed? Maybe add some features the other system didn't have. Yes, and make it SAFE!          

Well we built it!
