Default Redesigned bonnet cable splitter Box

I stumbled across this redesigned splitter box which looks like it should put an end to all the stuck bonnet issues we all know so well. The guy who makes them said they did not sell very well and is not making another batch any time soon. I’ve leased with him and said I would see if our members would be interested. The reason they did not sell well is probably because no one or few people even knew about them!
If we can summon up some interest he will manufacture another batch.
Let me know if anyone would like to pursue this. The images below show why it solves the problems with the original splitter box.

Tried to buy one off e-Zee (who also do a very reasonably priced in-tank fuel pump separation orange clip kit [their version is white] kit) a few weeks back but they were out of stock!

Think it maybe reinventing the wheel, the original works fine if a little work is adapted to it, also you can add a couple of cable ties to the bonnet cables (Nano Crew Scott ) Idea.

But if members like them then why not.

Agreed, I did some of these mods but the thing still managed to work free😡
It looked like a well designed piece of kit that would work ‘straight out the box’ without the need for cable ties (tie wraps from where I come from!) and other various bodges.

Just thought it might be worth a shot, might save a few grazed knuckles and expletives when the bonnet fails to open!

I believe there was but I couldn’t find it. It’s not easy to find on the internet even when you know the guys part number and what he calls it! He needs a computer guru to ‘spider’ the item !

I would go for one.
I have used some of his other products and have been impressed.
