removable core support: detachable wiring harness

[Marc Swanson]

While I had the digicam out I took some shots of the connector I made so that
I could disconnect the wiring harness which crosses the front of the car.
Since I modded my core so I could remove it I wanted a quick and easy way to
disconnect the wiring harness that would also be waterproof.  Searching
through my digikey catalog I found a really nice connector setup that has an
external locking ring which compresses an internal rubber sealing ring.  The
wires which go into the connector are sealed by a special form of heat shrink
which oozes black goo (sort of like RTV) when heated up.  Creates quite a
nice seal.  In total the parts were about $50 but I I'm glad I did it since
it took me 5 minutes to completely take apart the front of my car:
