Rough Life - Dashboard RWB Rauhwelt Porsche 993
Within a full project containing of over-all cabling and miscellaneous Motec control units and displays this motorsport dashboard for an original Rauhwelt Porsche 993 was build by Aamgard Engineering. What it makes very special: It is hand-signed by the Japanese master of arts Akira Nakai himself...
Smart Cabling with Aamgard ConBoxes
All integrated in one solid connection box: relays, electronic smart units, Autosport connectors. Individual for your racecar. In many of our projects the Aamgard ConBoxes are the central device of vehicle electrics and wiring looms.
Power Means Nothing Without Control: Motec PDM
'Power is Nothing Without Control' - some years ago that was the marketing Slogan of a big tyre manufacturer. But where more than with Motec PDM this slogan is true?
We would be pleased to give help about applications, programming and the available variants - feel free to call by phone or to send an e-mail.
Back on Track: Aamgard TipFlash / High Beam Flasher
Our TipFlash module has many interesting features to offer: Ruggedized, compact and water tight housing, progammable flash count, high output power, over-temperature and short-circuit protection. Even the latter properties have caused some delivery problems in summer: The necessary output driver chips have not been available neither at the usual distributors nor directly at the manufacturer for several months. Thus, the final assembly of several dozen electronic circuit boards stayed ''on halt'' and new modules couldn't be delivered to customers.
But now there are finally more supplies and a whole slew of high beam flasher modules are build and finished and ready for sales.
Honda CB750C Café Racer
Due to a fatal transportation mishap, all the handlebar cables on a 1981 Honda CB750C were sheared off. After not a single motorbike workshop could be found near or far to repair the damage, the owner turned to us.
We then reconstructed the electric harnesses using old workshop manuals and largely rebuilt them close to motorsport standards. We also had to blueprint the switch units on the steering rack and the speedometer instrument also had to be repaired. A lot of fiddly work... But it was worth it: Now the beautiful design classic is back to its former glory.
The Honda CB750K was the successor to the technically revolutionary 750 K-Four developed in the 1960s. The 4-cylinder DOHC four-stroke engine delivers some frisky 78 bhp, which, together with the 4-4 exhaust system and the racing saddle without pillion seat, underline the character of a sporty supertourer. The CB750C is the tuned chopper version of the 750K.
And why Café Racer? Well: In the 60s, motorbikes of this sporty design were particulary popular with the young ''beatniks'' to impress the ladies at the roadside cafés. And since we had so nice weather, we wondered if this also could work today. So, we decided to hook-up with the owner for a photo session at the Duisburg town theatre square...
New Wiring Loom for a Nineties Carrera Cup Porsche
They stil exist: The late 90th Cup Porsche 996 GT3. And when needed we repair and refurbish electrics and cabling. Or we build a brand new bespoken wiring loom in motorsport quality.
Aamgard Powerbox with Rincon Battery Cut-Off Relay
The Aamgard Powerbox contains a Rincon high current relay and further single relays for fuel pump control, lighting and other electric modules inside a racecar. Main task is the emergency cut-off between 12V battery, alternator and vehicle electrics: With two trigger switches inside cockpit resp. outside at the car bodywork in an emergency case fuel pumps and alternator can be switched to a save off-state. Additional, with a further control input, the fuel pumps can be switched off by the engine ECU.
Opposing to an electronic solid state switch, the advantage of an electro-mechanic switch is the full galvanic cut-off between battery and system electrics: Derived from the mining industries, the gas-tight high power relay secures that neither in the switch-off moment nor at system cut-off any arcing can occure. The rated brake current is 3500A, the Rincon relay can source 300A continuously. The Aamgard Powerbox is the professional alternative to the still very popular mechanic battery breakers or sometimes only semi-reliable full electronic solid state switches.
The Aamgard Powerboxes are designed and build individually for your racecar or project.

Full Set: Aamgard TipFlash Module with Wiring Loom and Accessories
Our TipFlash / flash-to-pass modules are also available with a full accessories set: Switch, flash button, blue high beam LED and a wiring loom with Superseal connector in a plug-and-play package together with the actual flasher module.
In the loom plan the individual wire length, connectors etc. can be filled. The wire set will be built to your requirements.
Control Center: Switches and Push Buttons Suitable for Motorsports
There are dozens of device switches and switch series of various manufacturers. Not every part is suitable for motorsport applications. Since many years we use switches and push buttons of SCI, Arcolectric and Apem: A ruggedised construction at high current rating of the first and a very defined mechanical actuation point of the latter ones have been our well-considered selection criteria. Especially at push buttons mounted to steering wheels and as usual in motorsports actuated with gloves the trigger response is key for ergonomic and safe operation.
