QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Jun 26 2024, 08:53 PM)  The parts I ordered arrived, see mockup below. The new housing and male wire terminals are standard items and available. The 3-pole male housing on all D-Jet FI harnesses for the trigger points, simply inserts into this new female housing with its retention clips, which will attach to the 123. The boot on the FI harness slips over the mating joint to make a relatively weathertight connection. Plug N Play. I figure the 2 wires on the 123 could be individually wrapped with heat shrink for 2 inches where they enter the new housing on the side of the connection facing the 123, and then combined into a slightly larger single casing piece for the few inches the branch needs to get back into the 123. This casing provides protection from heat, fluids and added strain relief (in addition to the strain relief located at the terminals). The metal fitting on the 123 where the two wires emanate, appears to be a compression fitting with a rubber gasket around the wires but someone please confirm. If that's true it may be possible to insert the outer casing under this compression nut (or possibly on the outside of it with a heat shrink collar) for a secure connection. To minimize fracturing this short branch at the compression fitting, maybe the branch gets wrapped in an outer stainless steel braided sleeve to up under that compression nut (or over it with a heat shrink collar) to make it more durable. Comments? That looks like an elegant solution! I'm happy to bring you my NIB 123 distributor to try this out on if you don't already have one to play with. |

Jeff, when you come up with the tried and tested connector I would like to purchase one for my 123 Bluetooth Thanks for your R&D |
