I am going to a 911 dash and saw awhile back a members picture where they used multi pin connectors to simplify things and i really like the idea and want to implement it myself in my conversion and other spots like the turn signal buckets. I have looked on digi-key but quickly get lost in the lingo used in their catalog since i am not super familiar with the electrical side of things. Can someone please help me out with this one. will need the male and matching female connectors along with the proper type of male and female terminals used that are soldered to the wires.
thanks in advance!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)

Thanks Cap'n, I was unaware that solder shouldn't be used... Was planning on crimping the wires to the terminals and then putting a dab of solder on there for good measure. I have a crimping tool that i will be borrowing from school so i am covered there. Also good point about the OEM metric sized wires, do you happen to know which of the two ranges in AWG the dash wires fall into??
