Electrical Plumbing Info

[Gilly]

With Gregor's Hyper build also came some good info on electrical parts. I speak of the AMP SuperSeal 1.5 connectors and the tool used to crimp them.

So with Gregor's assistance, I gathered that info so you can use it if that issue comes up. So with that, here it is....


Electrical Tool

MSD Ignition also makes a tool, but it is not in kit form. If you already have the tool, then purchasing the crimp dies might save you money. $25 each die.

Image not included due to the rules... It's a freakin rubber boot and it looks like the image above.

It's not that expensive to build a kit as Gregor did. My main goal was to find a reasonably priced crimping tool. The high end tool is well over $200! If you want this in the stickies, that would be fine, otherwise search for Electrical Plumbing Info when you forget about this thread in a week!

Great info. Thanks for the post Bill! My shop is actually in the market for connectors and I am going to look into your link.

Thanks, good info to have in the old tool box. IIRC this is the style connector the tail/brake light uses, seems like the turn signals are different. One of my winter projects is the redo the front signal wiring, thanks to the butthead PO and his wire chopping activity.

I did some more looking and found a listing of the AMP Superseal 1.5 Part Numbers. Also one tidbit from TOB on a plug for the instrument panel on a Monster. Can't verify this, but it's still info.

Hey Bill,

You've done me one better. Nice job pulling all that together. There's nothing better than having the right tool and the right part.

Thanks,

Gregor

Found some info on TOB on this. I have not verified this, but if you do some McGoogling, you come up with the same results that it is 99% a sure thing... Buy a bag, if they are the proper size, you will never have to purchase an o-ring for as long as you live. More importantly it sucks when you have to tell someone, "Sorry, I can't go, my o-rings are chaffed, and I'm waiting on replacements"



Again, I recommend people download any info from this post and save it locally.

Dang Bill, you hit one out of the park again, nothin' worse than riding 'round with chaffed o-rings

FWIW, mcmaster.com sells a similar "weatherproof low voltage DC pin and socket connector", no special tools required.

I used one under my tail and am happy.

Nice addition! Also had the extractor tool. I do like the manner in which they have the parts listed. ++ on that for sure. While they are not AMP connectors, if you are doing something custom and not concerned with it, it is a good option to have. Thanks for adding that on!

ADDITIONAL INFO!!!

McMaster.com also has Rivet nuts! So if you strip out one of them on your bike and wondered how the hell to replace/fix it. They have some that may do the trick! Some refer to them as threaded brass inserts. I don't know if that is proper, but in any case they can fail.
