Multipin connectors

[anonymous-user]

My Fury dash has at least 32 wires connecting to it, ideally I'd like to be able to add a single large multipin connector to make removal much easier and tidier.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get such a thing from?

Best I can find is this, but not 100% sure its suitable, although I think 15A is way more than any dashboard wiring will need?

Yeah I had the 6.3 type on my Tiger but ended up with IIRC 4 or 5, this time I want to get it a bit neater.

Thanks Phillip, looked that brand up and they look ideal, eg

That looks perfect for mounting on an ali bracket behind the dash, way better than a load of small connectors jiggling around.

Glad I didn't fit one of these plugs to start with - after a lot of trying to decipher the wiring, specifically the manual fan override switch, turns out it had been bodged to bypass the fan relay and run the full current powering the fan through the switch itself, so a peak of about 13 amps when starting dropping to about 6 amps constant.

I've now fitted a proper fused relay for the switch

Blimey Sloan85, that page on your build blog is my idea of a nightmare The end result looks very nice though, wish I understood wiring well enough to do that.
