Suggest decent cable connectors?

Adam80UK · Traffic Copper Joined: 08 Sep 2006 Karma :

My aftermarket mirrors with indicators require removing them to adjust the arm angle, which in turn involves removing scree, then VERY annoying wellnuts, and display unit just to disconnect indicators.

I want to cut the wires at the point they go through the fairing before the go into the display unit, and connect with some kind of connector.

I want this connector to ideally be black, waterproof, and easy to clip and unclip.

Any suggestions please?

I'd personally solder them on, and shrink wrap the joints.

I might be stating the bleeding obvious, but wouldn't the trick be to keep trial fitting the mirrors, until they're in the right place, then screw/bolt it all up?

https://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/ seems to have the best selection connectors.

If you're going to use the waterproof connectors (and I recommend that you do 'cus they rock), take care crimping the connectors unless you have the proper tool. You can use needle nosed pliers no problem, just take your time.

Also, remember to put the rubber seals on the cable before crimping Embarassed

and make sure that you crimp the smaller part of the rubber seal under the first part of the connector (second part is just for the exposed wire) to ensure that it's a watertight seal.

Just realised I've dicked myself buying those! It will not fit through the hole in the fairing so they are pointless. £14 well spent then Evil or Very Mad

Maybe I could use some 2.5mm stereo jacks;

Any reason not to?

Actually would want a mono one with 2 connections as opposed to stereo which has 3.

And why am I talking to myself on my own topic...

Regular jackplugs will likely foul up doublequick in our lovely weather.

Something simple like this would be good but can't find anywhere to buy them.
