Product Liability law, especially as it concerns automobiles and electronics, is steeped in engineering terminology, technical diagrams, and published specifications – not exactly common knowledge to the end-user or a lawyer. This is why it’s so important to have an expert consultant, who can help you develop an Inspection Protocol and not only find the fault(s) in the subject product(s), but explain to the legal team (and later, a judge/jury) what caused the fault(s) and how that influences the operation of a product.
Jordan Innovations has the engineering background and practical “hands-on” experience in these fields to assist your legal team in exactly this manner as an expert consultant – on Tuesday 10/13/2009, Jordan Innovations was hired by John Rowell, senior partner of Cheong Denove Rowell & Bennett, to oversee the disassembly and inspection of a subject car in an ongoing Product Liability suit; overseen by Jordan Innovations, and with the help of Ted Zinke from Automotive Safety Research and David Galassi of Rest Your Case Evidence Storage and Handling in Irwindale, CA where the car is stored, the Protocol was carried out thoroughly and both parties were satisfied with the events (and, more importantly to Mr. Rowell, the legality) of the teardown.
Here’s a couple “action shots” from the procedure – note that the process was performed in a clean inspection room and recorded on video!

Jordan Innovations will be doing all the electrical work for Conrad Grunewald’s GM-sponsored 2010 Camaro drift car! I just returned from 4 days of work at Luke Lonberger’s location in Los Gatos, CA on the car, and every single aspect of this build is TOP NOTCH!
From the 6.2L supercharged LSA powerplant that GM Performance Parts has provided (they actually gave them two!) to Luke’s Cro-Moly roll cage, to full carbon fiber bodywork from Seibon, this car is done right! The wiring harness had to be fabricated in it’s entirety – the crate motor came with pigtails off the sensors/coilpacks/injectors and that’s about it. Moreover, instead of using the OEM Powertrain Control Module, Conrad is using a new AEM EMS unit which is electrically very different in design and capabilities.
Using parts of an AEM-supplied harness and MIL-W-22759 wire, we constructed and loomed the harness using flame-retardant and abrasion-resistant loom and adhesive heat shrink, terminating in an Amphenol MIL-C-5015 circular connector. The rest of the electrical system consists of Bussman panel-mount circuit breakers powering heavy duty toggle switches for the rest of the systems, and a OMP SCCA-legal 6-pole cutoff mounted on the firewall.
Pictures of the first round of work will be up this week! Stay tuned!
Jordan Innovations was started up out of necessity – the S-chassis community is full of modders that do their own work, from changing wheels to radio installs all the way up to JDM engine swaps… problem is, there are areas that not everyone is comfortable with, which we have years of experience in:
*Wiring/electrical (conversion harnesses, tucked/hidden wiring, Mil-Spec connector retrofits, Push-button start, alarm/security system installs, custom 12V projects)
*Fabrication (stitch-welding, pressing in/out bearings and bushings, custom suspension arms, welding brackets/etc)
*S-chassis Race Prep (everything from big brake swaps to custom IC/radiator ducting and undertrays/diffusers)
If we can’t take care of your needs, we can certainly point you in the right direction – contact us today!
