D - Jetronic female connector Options

[Villemi]

Hello,

We know on our D -Jetronic harness some male connectors 2,3,4,5 ways with female connectors with female pins inside.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i48.servimg.com-23807-1640445696.1.jpg)

Do you know female connectors with male pins inside. ?


I need your help because I want to use on my 914 Porsche a 123 ignition distributor.
For the OEM distributor I have a 3 ways female connector and for the harness 3ways male connector
I'd like to make a little harness with a 3 ways male on one side and 3 ways female connector on the other side
It's easy to find male connectors with female pins but I don't find female connector with male pins.

Do you know where I can find these parts ?

The advantage of this little harness is if I have problems with the 123 ignition distributor I can use my OEM one without harness modification.

Can you help me please ?

PS: what is the item number of these D-Jetronic connectors ?

Best regards

Michel

Gents,

I have been away most of July for my day job and wanted to follow-up with you on this.

Been trying to figure out what the best way to proceed is, to keep the total cost to you a minimum. The connector parts are not expensive and I have a 5 sets in my possession, can easily get more. The work involves cutting the wires to length, mounting the wire terminals, wrapping the wires with heat shrink (3 pieces). Which means you need a crimper and heat gun, tools you may not have. The tools probably cost $50-75$ together.

Unless you have better ideas I think the options are below, none of which I see as particularly cost efficient all things considered:

1. You send me your dist, I mount the plug, heat shrink the wires and ship it back to you. Parts & labor is probably $25., plus shipping costs both ways which is expensive these days.

2. I post the part numbers and sources, and you buy the parts, do the work your self. You need the tools and incur shipping charge minimums for small order parts. You also need 3 short lengths of heat shrink, which no one sells in that quantity, meaning you would need to buy a larger quantity that you may not need.

3. I assemble kits of the parts and sell them to you ($10. shipped) but you will need the tools.

What is the preference? Maybe options 1 and 3? Both a kit for those with tools and a 'I'll send my dist to you and you send it back complete' approach for those that do not have the tools?

I'd go for option 3. I have the tools. Heat shrink etc.

Thanks for your work on this.
