Indicator/Hazard Crimpflex connector broken and replacement
Discussion
Hi everyone (again!!!)
I've worked out the problem with my indicators in that it looks like someone tried quite clumsily to reconnect the Crimpflex connector under the steering wheel that connects from the Indicator/Hazard light PCB to the Steering Wheel ECU and totally banjaxed one end of the connector in the process (see picture below).
I've checked Clever Trevor for a replacment cable but can't find one, and Maplin don't have one so does anyone know who would sell one or a way to replace the connector (I'm guessing buying a Crimpflex tool and new connectors might be one way)?
Not very happy connector

Other end connected to the Steering Wheel ECU (made by Tina - thanks Tina!)

Additional: This appears to be the connector TVR used

Wholly Shamolly - it looks like you need a whole pressing machine to make these cables!!!!

I've checked out RS, Farnell and Maplin and can't find anything similar yet so will keep searching unless anyone else has other inspired ideas :-)

Just noticed that Racetech have the 10 core replacement for this, which you can probably easily adjust to the 6 core needed for the indicators

I also spoke to the nice people at Nicomatic, www.nicomatic.co.uk, who made all the leads for TVR and they can custom make one for a small fee (he nominated £25.00 to me)
