The time has come to tackle some wiring projects on my 1g. I'm looking for a source on some better quality wire, high temp jacketing, and auxillary plugs. I'm really tired of using low quality spade plugs and that crappy plastic wiring loom you get at autozone Napa etc. I'm looking into the weatherproof plugs, or "weather pac" style, just haven't tried them before. I'm looking to setup my rad fans and headlights onto their own circuits, and I don't want a nest of wires on the battery terminals.
I'm sure I'm not the only DSM owner that's plagued with crunchy broken brittle wiring. I'v replaced all the major sensor plugs with new pigtails, and the only thing left to do is the injector plugs. I have atleast 16 pigtails salvaged from other DSM at the salvage yard. I'm planning on clipping off the old plugs one at at time, then zapping the new ones on with a touch of rosin core solder, then a cover with heat shrink. I'm not sure if the solder is going to interfere with the resistance of the injectors, or if over time it can crack from vibrations and heat? If anyone else has gone through their harness before some pointers would be appreciated.
