What did you buy today

way too fiddly fo my eyes a good soldered joint with some heat shrink should work.

For a normal city car yes. BUT for one that sees dirt/mud joined wires are the worst.

New tensioner for the gu..
And belt..
Going to rebuild the old one..

Ordered a new RH CV and wheel bearings yesty. Hopefully they should be there today for pickup so I can put it all back together.

When will you be doing them once they arrive Mark? Would love to see how it's done.

That now means you have 3 connections where you only need 1 (splice to connection to splice instead of just a connection)

Wouldn't you be better off buying the Weatherproof Connector and just assemble it with the original equipment wires ?

Years ago I helped a fellow sparky wire a flash boat, real flash it was. We had insulated crimp connectors you know the red, blue and yellow ones.

But, they were grease filled with a seal that the cable was pushed through into the connector then crimped.

Were supposed to be waterproof and corrosion resistant.

Can they still be sourced?

Hey mate, yeah they are available. Hideously expensive of course but certainly available. I would think a solder join and some resin filled heatshrink would be the easiest method for joining onto these.
But of course it is another unnecessary join.

Standard and mil spec duetsch plugs are the go. Can you source these winnie?

Probably. I reckon they'd be cheaper and quicker to get online though.
