Camels Guide to wiring connectors

I've found the same plug but the slots underneath are arranged differently.  I imagine it could be modified to fit the busa dash.

I'll order one, but after my experiences with RS-Online I'm nervous about ordering from the big boys again.

How about a how-to on proper installation and removal of pins and what kinds there are?

What happened? they are a tad expensive (basically 2x anywhere else) but they usually have stock.
I've been dealing with them for 15 years... I do all my prototyping with their catalog in my lap They have never not made good on mistakes, at least for me.
Farnell are a similar thing with similar prices and stock levels.

It's just not that simple I'm afraid. So may different types, basically.

eg the pins are held in place usually by a barb, either from the front, the back or the inside a moulded sleeve incorporated into the shell that holds it. others are screwed in, but I doubt many will see those types in their lives pins and sockets can have different fixings on the same plug.

Like Trojan said.  However, I used to have this really handy little Stahlwillie screwdriver that disappeared while .....................

heheheee bloody kids, take your shit, give me shit, what can ya do :P

I use a couple of jewlers screwdrivers... coz I'm too cheap to by Stahlwillie  :-[

[trojan]

2 screwdrivers are for when there's 2 barbs holding the pin in... which I forgot to mention. Typically when 2 barbs are used  you use a tube on a handle that slips over the pin and releases the barbs. that method works well for single barbs too, but only when the barb is accessible from the pin rather than the crimp end. finding the right sized tube leaves me with two jewelers flat heads in my hands and the plug in a vice

I use jewelers flat blades to pry open the crimp around the wire. then pointy nose pliers to crimp it back. maybe a dab of solder if the crimp looks sus.

pics,pics,pics! Are there any to be had? Anywhere?

You could always ask on a Hayabusa forum if anyone has junk plugs or trashed wiring harness

Two sites I check our are http://hayabusa.org and http://suzukihayabusa.com/
