9000 Loom uprate - ideas and comments?

Question

Salutations:I think I am about to start pulling my loom and relays to check them over  for fit, finish , conductivity and function. Anyone have a really good  source for a complete schematic for a 1993 9000 Aero?I would very much like to do this once if possible. While there, I would  like to install better connectors and heavier wire where appropriate. Any  leads on a good general source for both?Finally - there are several loom end point connectors that are specific to  a given electrical device. ie the Safety Valve. Any thoughts on casting  better (more robust and perhaps water proof) connectors in these cases? Is  it time to break out my old Lionel epoxy modeling kit?Cheers - I'll kick this over to saabnet as well to see if it picks up  traffic too

Many of the connectors are specific to the item they connect to. The Bosch air mass sensor comes to mind for some reason.

If you do want to replace connectors where you can - bear in mind that auto connectors are designed for an aggressive enveronment. Only military / aerospace types are likely to outperform them.

Salutations:I have a supply of commercial Marine gear handy being I live on the Port  of Halifax. I wonder if the answer is to look at somehow gel sealing base  connections themselves as I clean them. Not the heavy multi-pin stuff of  course, I'm pretty sure they will be happy with a heavy contact clean and  a light silicon oil - but some of the single and double pin stuff attached  to the sensors might benefit...Like I said - I *really* only want to do this once if possible.Hummm..

MIL connectors work by sealing out the s*it. That's why they're pricey.

Many auto connectors do a good job too.

Guess you'll have to make your own decision, bearing in mind you can't replace unit specific connections that ate pretty 'hardened' anyway.
