Gold or platinum terminal preferences
I'm looking for feedback on preferences on gold or platinum terminals for the ground kits I make. I'm working with a distributor to try to get my material cost down so that I can possibly offer the kits cheaper (right now, pricings about the same, but may get better as I buy more).
this is the kit as i make it now:

here are the options:

so of 1-4, let me know what your personal preference by voting above. thanks.

here are the options:
- Platinum clamp, gold terminals (current)
- Platinum clamp, platinum terminals
- Gold clamp, gold terminals
- Gold clamp, platinum terminals
here's the details:
- platinum clamp doesn't have as much visible gold as the current one does
- platinum terminals look similar to standard terminals (not a shiney chrome finish)
- the gold clamp is all gold finish no silver/platinum
so of 1-4, let me know what your personal preference by voting above. thanks.
Re: Gold or platinum terminal preferences
i dont have one of your kits, but i have my own. i used gold terminals which worked out just fine. i think the way you have it looks pretty good man. its also probably not quite as expensive as going with all platinum materials. i think for this particular purpose this way works great.
the most important thing i think is the type of wire you use and how many strands it is.

Re: Gold or platinum terminal preferences
I'm going to be switching to the platinum clamp with platinum terminals. by doing this, i'll be able to knock off $5 off the kit initially. over time, i hope to get it down less. when i get the new parts, i'll make a kit and post pics.
