where to get male connectors for reference sensors
Anyone know where I can source some new connectors for my reference/speed sensors? I have the new dme harness from lindsey racing, but the plugs on my 3-year old sensors seem to be going bad already (have to wiggle them to start the car sometimes). Every place I've looked only sells the female DME side connector.

I found this when I was fooling around with the speed/res sensors. I ended up replacing the sensors and the harness to the DME as well. Lindsey Racing has engine harnesses and I trusted their craftsmanship more than mine.

My dad found a guy in Finland that supplied the connectors. (Probably the same guy as JohnKoaWood.)
If John doesn't have any more connectors let me know and I'll see if I can find the guy's website.

Funny thing, I ended up replacing both my sensors about 2 weeks after I put the new connectors on!

Needle nose, and i soldered before closing it all up...
Cut old connector off, try to save as much of the original harness as you can, cut the wires clean.
Strip insulation of 1/8 inch on each wire, note the orientation of the wires... (it has been a while, I can pull up the schematics if you need for color to pin location)
slide boot onto the wires
slide a seal onto each wire
Crimp pins onto the wires, one set of crimp ears on the wire, the other set on the insulation.
I then soldered the wires and pins.
insert the pins into the proper location in the connectors.
push pin into connector until it locks into place, pull on each wire to verify it is locked into place..
make sure seals are seated into the back of the connector
slide boot onto connector..
Enjoy!
