Automotive wiring connectors-Source?

Eastwood, company, has great restoration supplies. I'd be surprised if looming supplies aren't among them. Google is your friend, I think it's eastwood-co.com but may be wrong.

Painless Wiring:

You should be able to find what you need here...

The online catalog is pretty bad, try the pdf pages of the print catalog. If I have the current edition here, the automotive connectors start on page 28. Ned Simmons

Radio shack sells molex style connectors. They work for all low current connections, IOW all single loads but not major power through the dash.

You can also get gold plated pins from electronic supply places like Gerber, good for the outside connections, marker lights and the like

Where are the connectors going, and do you *really* need them there?

Most connectors are for convenience during assembly, and can be done away with. My advice would be to get a hardcopy newark catalog and peruse the 'connector' department therein. I would steer far far away from anything that's not O-ring sealed, such as molex or cinch jones type.

I know a company called Connexall makes some nice environmentally sealed, glass reinforced nylon connectors. They're in Newark too.

I second that motion heartily. I just started doing business with them and find them to be reasonably priced, unlike some specialty shops that overcharge. The only caveat is that there's often minimum quantities of items you want. I wanted a 4 fuse ATC fuse block, I had to buy 4. Needed about 40 stick on wire clips, had to get 53. Doesn't always seem to make sense, but I learned a long time ago that when it comes to electrical terminals, you always want to buy way more than you think you'll need anyway.

When I had a shop, I bought mine here.

Molex came out recently with some sealed connectors.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place

Thanks for the link - but seeing as how the cannon MS connectors have been around for decades, I think I'll stick with them until molex figures out the bugs....
