Thanks for the kind words.

Chip & others; you're more than welcome to stop by. I'm in Lawton, Michigan. It's about a 2 1/2 - 3hr trip from Detroit. Please PM me for details and discuss.

Made some progress yesterday. Friend came over with his Deutsch connector assortment. Thought I had some pics, but my SD card must be going south. Only photo I got off of it was the crimping tool.

Deutsch connectors are used in the modern automotive world. Very well engineered, and can cost a bit of change if you go with the gold plated pins. As you might suspect; it has a male/female fitment. Where they differ is how much contact surface they have. The connectors are water tight with silicone "seals" (very cool!)

Here's a manufacturers pic of a typical pin. The wire is inserted on the left end & crimped. No solder is needed, but the hole is for that added insurance.



The crimping tool is unique. Makes multiple crimps at one time. You first set the wire gauge, then the depth. Was impressed by how easy it was to use.


I'll get some photos of the connector later this week.

Cleaned up the rear wheel, pressed in new bearings, rebuilt the caliper & installed the exhaust.


Thanks for your interest.
