Bullet Connectors

Postby scarface031 » 12 Mar 2014 01:01

I recently removed the main wiring harness from my car.

I was hoping to replace all of the bullet connectors with something more reliable.

Any ideas?

I appreciate all the help!

There's lots of modern sealed electrical connectors around. I would go to your local auto parts store and see what they have in stock. Failing that a search on the web will give you lots of choices.

Most car parts shops should be able to get you sorted
Some before and after pictures of my DHC's wiring to show what can be done with some basic tools and parts ...

Theo- I use Metra Pak and Weather Pak in my connectors.
My only dislike of them is they tend to be a little "bulky".
Yours look a little more streamlined.
Who makes them?

Don't know their make, but they are pretty standard in this part of the world.

Is that a stock wire?
