[Es2] wiring harness connector contacts

[livinotte at cox.net]

Hello

Since i started working on my other coupe I have been looking into electrical options.  When I did my first coupe I bought the vagtools that allowed me to pull the wires with connectors out of the amp connectors.  I went to the junk yard and sourced alot of connectors.  One option instead of splicing is attach another connector to the wire you cut.  Instead of using an audi/european connector you could use a generic GM weather-tite connector.  Audi-gm(where the cut was made)-audi 

I will be building my own engine bay harnesses including engine/lights/allternator etc.  I plan on using a mixture of audi AMP connectors and GM connectors.

I sourced a crimp tool and extractor tool from Summit racing:

sum-900401
sum-900402

You can even get a starter kit for $50.00 which has parts for: two 4 pin,four 3 pin,three 2 pin, and 4 1 pin connectors.

Figured I throw that idea onto the list.

Also keep in mind the heat shrink spice connectors from autozone are actually quite nice.
