FYI Weather pack connector source

[jlumba81]

I'm redoing my turn signals (updating to newer caterham model) and decided to replace the connector to something that seals better. It looks like whoever built my 7 forgot to put in the seals on one half of the connector. They also spliced in the turn signals and it was already showing signs of corrosion.

 

So I ended up getting a 460 pc weather pack kit from diyautotune thru amazon.com. Just fyi for anyone doing wiring (or in my case rewiring) and looking for weatherproof connectors. They sell kits in different sizes and also megasquirt kits too. One of the few places I found where you didn't have to buy bulk.

summit racing has them too. I buy mine from them most of the time.

Waytek Wire also offers all of the pieces separately at very reasonable prices as well (good for restocking your kit).

 

IMO they're a great bargain for a diy project.

Thanks for the tips. I plan on using the connectors on a truck project too. I bought the bigger kit because shipping to alaska is nickle and diming me to death.

Way back in the day when I had a CNG conversion shop, we bought wiring looms, wires and weatherpack connectors from WayTek

I bought the same package from http://www.diyautotune.com/ directly. Great package. Would strongly suggest spending the extra money and buying their crimp tool too. After killing a few of the ends I ordered mine and have not had a problem since. The kit also does not come with anything under 18 gauge, so if you plan in doing any really thin wiring like for the dash you will need to buy the 22 gauge separately.

 

Worth every dime. Makes wiring much easier and simpler. I have been using a silver marker so every one of my connectors has a number which is documented.

I wound up using Deutsch connectors for wiring up my se7en, and got them from Batts Racing (no relationship of any kind). I have past experience with Weatherpack and know them to be well designed, but found that the Deutch design is at least of equal quality and that the connectors are in general much less bulky. Also, you can get clean wire to terminal connections without having to buy a crimper (although, there's nothing that produces nicer connections than a mfg's crimper - if you can afford it.)

My take-home was that, if I was connecting things whose amperage's called for 12 or 10 ga wire, I'd buy Weatherpack, but, after checking wiring specs and what Honda uses in their ECU, found that nearly everything on my car, fuel pump included, was ok with the gauges that Deutsch products offer. These were easy to work with and offered a nice range of sizes. Along the way I found Anderson Powerpole connectors for high amp connections (15, 30, 45, 75, 120 & 180) which offer a nice design - but these aren't sealed - just rugged, very positive and easy to work with.
