Hotwire injector connectors.

Anyone know a supplier of these connectors? They are of a better design than the flapper ones which break so easily on removal. But mate to either.
It's just the locking mechanism which is different.

Try searching for "mini power timer" Dave. I think Autosparks do them.

VWP do what is described as that - but it's the earlier breakable version.

It's not clear from the pic on the Autosparks site if it's the later one. I'll given them a ring.

the ones that VWP do are the same as the ones on my hotwire loom. I dont know if they changed later on or not as my loom is fairly early. How often are you planning on taking them apart?

I've got some of the VWP ones and they are the flapper type. I have a hotwire loom with the later ones. I could post a pic if you'd like to see the difference.

I'm making a new loom for my MegaSquirt incorporating some changes, so would rather have the better connectors if possible.

As a point of reference, these two links were posted up on pistonheads the other day.

Power ones have the release latch, the other mini ones don't if thats what you mean by 'breakable'?

Brilliant, thanks. Polevolt have just the thing - and in different colours and at a good price. Dunno how I've not come across them before.
Clear pictures too - many are so bad they don't show the difference between the two. It's described as 'with release clip'.
