I've begun rewiring my 41 year old T bucket and while I have everything apart I figured it was time for a new dash. This time around I want to use some kind of a connector so I can simply unplug the entire dash. I've been looking at the various connectors I've found on the internet and wondering just how good they are. If anyone with some experience along this line can offer a suggestion or two I would appreciate it.
A side note here, Back in 68 - 69 when I first began putting my roadster together I soldered all the wire connections. In later years as I changed engines, transmissions, lighting, and other various wiring I began using crimp connectors. Over the past weekend while going through the wiring I removed the old tape and found the original soldered connections as good as the day I made them. I simply recovered them with heat shrink tubing instead of tape. The newer crimp connections (15 - 25 years old) were showing signs of corrosion and some easily pulled apart. I'm in the process of replacing any piece of wire with a butt splice in it and soldering every connection.
