We have coverage for every application.

Thank you for everyone's business including you Dan. Appreciate the input. Good luck in Pomona.

SL..

In my case it was NOT you guys.

I just double checked mine bought from KFM.... Tabs and clamps are stamped with his logo..... These have to be legal even in Div. 5......

Mack,
You are legal were ever you go. Isn't that cool? After you do well in Orlando, you can go on a US tour!
Thank you,

While I plan on getting Collector Tethers for contingency, I'm still trying to figure out how they expect my collectors to ever come off the car in the first place without a reciprocating saw or preferably a pair of wrenches.

Does this type of extension even fit the requirement for the tethers?

Well, I suppose you could say the pot has been stirred. I just received a private email from Collector Cable with a pdf of my original invoice and text simply suggesting that having that copy available during tech could head off any hassles. I might add that I purchased my tethers online 1/23/14 and received and installed them 1/27/14. I am extremely happy with both the product and the service received. Installation was seamless and I'm completely satisfied with the finished appearance and thankful for a reasonably priced item that doesn't appear either cheap or Mickey Mouse.

I got the same, mine dated 12/08/2013. Thanks to Jok for looking out for all his customers. I have already printed out a copy and will be keeping it in the glove box.

Michael, I've seen plenty of this style rust from the inside out right at the 3 bolt flange area. Flanges stay bolted together and collector falls off.

Probably only a D6 problem up here in the Northwest????

We were told at the D5 seminar that this style would not need to be tethered.

I was told by a Div 7 tech person if the extension is bolted on and it can fall off...it needs to be tethered.....

I am stitch welding the extensions to the fully welded collectors....
