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.

 

PM JohnKoaWood (don't quote me on that spelling). He has a source...I got some from him a few months ago.

 

I might have a set or 2 left, let me check tomorrow and I'll let u know..If I don't have any left, I can order some and should be able to get em in by the end of the week... they have to come half way around the world...

 

Wow that would be great.. let me know if you have an extra set. Thanks-

 

I would also be interested if you are making an order. Thanks.

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.

 

You guys are in luck, I have 2 sets..

$30 via Paypal, johnkoawood@aol.com, and I can have them out tomorrow!

Guess it is time to order some more!

 

Those work for the Harness side, but the ones I have are for the sensor side... and are VERY difficult to find... I found them, bought 10 sets (bulk discount!), used 1 myself and have since sold the other 9 sets....

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

 

Thanks John. Paypal sent. I love Rennlist.

No problem... much more of these connectors and IB is gonna hit me up for sponsorship fees...LMAO

 

Same guy, he is in Helsinki.. real nice to deal with, and has everything on the shelf..

I think this set took about a week to get...

I will be ordering more... as he is the ONLY source for them other than ordering 10000 direct from Bosche...

 

Both sets are paid for, and will go out tomorrow!

Karl and Josh, I have your addresses, let me know if the address is different than shown on the PP notices.

 

Thanks John... btw, what kind of crimper did you use for the pins?

 

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!
