Wiring Harness Connectors
« on: May 24, 2013, 04:57:53 PM »
I have my wiring all sorted out now I just need to clean everything up and put more permanent connections. What are the connectors call that are 2, 4, 6, 8 bullets called and where (USA) can I get them local? Im talking about the connectors that join either 2 parts of a harness together or from an after market taillight to the rest of the harness. Thanks ahead of time

Yeah I'd order them online.  I looked all over for a local source where I live, and no major or small retailers had them.  They're an obsolete connector I think.

Getting ready to rebuild my 550. The original wiring seems to be working okay, but I'm still thinking about redoing the wiring for reliability. So I get that the bullet connector is correct for originality, but what would you use for more "modern" electronic connectors?

Definitely get the crimper or try to borrow one.  It makes an absolute world of difference when attaching the connectors.  If you are doing any custom work I would buy more than you need.  I wasted a few connectors on my build.

If you want to convert to modern connectors you can get GM weather pak connectors. They are slightly expensive but a lot of racers use them. Generic kits are available.

I just finished a complete 550 harness rebuild and used the guys below for all my connectors. You can get twice what you need in the $4.95 flat rate P1 box.  I'd recommend getting extras.  They shipped same day as order USPS P1.
