[White Stripe]

Is their a thread dedicated to wiring components? I haven't seen one. Not sure how many people here do their own wiring, probably a lot farm it out to a shop. So not sure if their is much interest. For decent quality loom, relays, connectors, etc. -find myself searching all the time all over google to find stuff to do a clean wiring job. For exampe I have used these with decent success...https://www.amazon.com/Deutsch-2-Pin-Connector-Housing-Terminals/dp/B0166WDCVO/ref=pd_cp_263_2/147-5823685-5437816?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0166WDCVO&pd_rd_r=def117a4-f2c3-4a78-a490-145288f50656&pd_rd_w=DOuAR&pd_rd_wg=6O2b1&pf_rd_p=592dc715-8438-4207-b7fa-4c7afdeb6112&pf_rd_r=CBM0SCYX2J4HTZ8R0P2Y&psc=1&refRID=CBM0SCYX2J4HTZ8R0P2Y

Deutsch connectors are pretty cool but cost a pretty penny. I’ve used 2 flange connectors to for wire pass thru on my roof rack and firewall.

I prefer Metri-pak. Very easy to use and they have been used in millions of cars. I use Waytek Wire, WireCare and others.

I use the Metri-pak for some stuff. Although it seems like they are kind of bulky if they are they have more than 4 pins, so depending on the use they may me tough in tight spaces. Now that you mention it I haven't seen gm using them anymore. Ive seen chrysler using them some as well as nissan.

Where did you get your bulkhead connectors? How many amps are they rated for? If your running lights may need to run a fair amount of amps through a connector.
