I love that you're running Deutsch connectors. The Toyota snobs might raise their noses, but they are so great to work with! I do want to point out that those are not the correct crimping pliers for a Deutsch pin. It looks like you're using Iwiss crimpers, so refer to part # HD-2612 for the correct crimper. This will get you the ability to pin 3 different sizes. Also helpful to get the small tool to help you remove the pins and separators from the connector if you need to move wires. Quite handy. You could easily carve one out of a small flathead screwdriver if desired. What bulkhead fittings are you using to get through the firewall- both the multi-pin connector and the singles?? I am really liking your build!!
I'm using a Deutsch HDP20 bulkhead. The HD2616 crimper is for solid pins. I'm using stamped DT pins which require the 1424A, which is what I have. And I agree, switching to all new standardized connectors makes life infinitely easier later.
I feel so much more confident in buying connectors, bull head fitting and universal wire harnesses from your videos on Jordy the 40
Can you post up what Bulkhead you used? Thanks.

thx for the info! I did not realize the stamped pins took a different crimper. Is there a reason you chose the stamped vs solid? @@ranwhenpark3d
