Sierra Stalk Connector - Wire Extraction?
Tatey - 22/5/13 at 10:27 PM

Evening all,

I have come to the stage of my build were I am wiring the stalks up to my loom, I still have the connectors with a few inches of cable still attached to them, however I am wondering if it would be possible to extract the current female bullet connectors and crimp on some new ends and re-use the connectors?

The reason I am looking to do this is I am wanting a tidier setup than soldering/crimping the cables to the ford cables.

I know there are extraction tools out there but I can't find one that I think I could use for it, or if it is even possible to re-use the connectors, if not then I will just bite the bullet (no pun intended ) and solder my loom to the connector cables.

Most can be removed with tiny flat blade screwdriver, its just a matter of poking the right places.... Oo err.

Its a long time since I looked at one but arnt they round pins ?

These are handy but I doubt you will find new pins. Soldered and heat shrink and they will look fine. The heat shrink crimps are nice but a little bulkier for multi plugs.

You can aslo use crimped connectors and do a neat job
