    Hm. I didn't know there were different types of hog rings when it comes to the metal or material they're made out of.

    U must be way stronger or something. Either way cutting them works the same and doesn't risk damaging the material

    Are ther different grades and sizes of hog rings?

    But that is my least concerns.

    Talked to the Fixed Operations Director today at the dealership I got my truck from and he told me when they used to do Katzkin heaters they connected the hot and ground to a 12v outlet to power the seats.He said they never had any problems. I like to get all the opinions I can get though thats why I'm on this site looking for help. There is a 12v charger inside the console box I can use if you all think it will work.

    Those heaters look just like the Katzkin heaters. I plan on putting mine on the lower dash where the usb port,12volt charger,ECT switch are.
