Hotchkis 76 Dart Build

Yeah, some of those Cannon plug shells (the connector without the pins) can be over $100 each.

My question was if the Cannon plugs came with the harness from Hotwire. Which they apparently, do not.

From what I remember working with them, there are different grades. Some are noted as being "weather proof". Where there is a wire seal that you slide the wires through before you put the pins on. Then the pins are inserted through another silicone seal that is part of the shell.

If you want to use these type of connectors, do yourself a favor too and get the metal pinning/de-pinning tools. The plastic ones that come with the connectors are ok for inserting the pins but suck, just a little bit, for taking them out.

Places like Mouser should have them and the tools. Digikey might. I think both will sell direct to retail, but since I have a business, I can't say for sure since I don't order like that.

I'd have to quiz the wiring guy with the plug questions. I can tell you that they weren't $100 each, but other than that, I've got nothin'.

I talked to Hotwire at SEMA about my harness and how it was bulkheaded. They will do it and have thought of doing it as an option. Just have to ask for now I guess.
