Hey group,



I'm replacing the legacy engine and fuel gauges in my 1978 Cherokee Six with Mitchell products cluster gauges. The original gauges were fed from   a 20AWG wire from a 5A breaker to one of the originalÂ gauges and then wired in series with a jumper wire from  gauge to gauge. I need to connectÂ the original powerÂ wire to the power wires of 7 new gauges.I would like a connector instead of soldering due to the specific requirements I have. Any recommendations? Cannon plug, molex, dsub? I could go to a bus bar and feed from there but room is pretty tight under the dash.

    For this and similar situations, I start with

    the question: "Why wouldn't a d-sub work here?"

    Admittedly, I'm flush with dsub tooling and

    inventory. A condition deliberately crafted

    based on the versatility off these connectors.

   Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes

   survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane

   out of that stuff?"
