Electrical bulkhead connector

[Graham]

As im building a new loom for the new ecu, I'f quite like to fit a proper mil style bulk head connector into it so i can easily disconnect the engine loom and take it out with the engine...

Do you mean Deutsch-style connectors?

[Graham]

Thats the type of thing, I just need a uk supplier, and pref a cheep version <LOL>

Seem to remember we dealt direct with Deutsch after having a chat with them at Autosport last year.

You could try this company. They are listed as distributors on the UK Deutsch website.

Cheers for that, looks good, I dont suppose you have any ideas on cost, although I'll give them a call tomorrow

Try Farnell, RS, Maplins various automotive and industrial connectors on there.

None of the decent ones (eg ITT-Cannon) are cheap. You can get multipole plastic things but they aren't suitable for lots of connecting/disconnecting or rough handling.
I know: I've replaced plenty on industrial kit that was built down to a price...

I've got some literature from people that sell these (in planning stages a new loom for the metro), I'll dig it out and mail you what I've got tonight.

Cheers,

There's nearly always someone breaking an Alfa 164 V6 on Ebay. They have a nice waterproof plug & socket of that type for the engine loom (a dozen or so pins I think) poking though the bulkhead near the coolant expansion tank - easy to get to.
