Honda CB400 wiring connectors
« on: March 05, 2022, 02:01:27 PM »
Can anyone point me in the right direction please I need a couple of these I think they are 3.5 mm size 4 way connector?
I do not want to cut the ones off my old loom as it might be of use to someone else when I have a clear out.

Look up kojaycat i have found odd items there before and good to deal with, or at least were.
3.5 will take 3.9 bullets

If it's black wire Ted it should have a shroud to protect earthing as that's a power source.

Correct one of the reasons I replaced the loom as insulating tape was everywhere presumably because the sleeves had been removed for some reason. I've sourced some connectors from kojaycat a bit of a wait for delivery as they are closed for holidays.

I had the  same problem Ted, they are impossible to track down, I even tried a breakers yard to look at old looms but no body does them now they do multi block, I didn't want to use a block connecter on the 1 into 4 earth connecter so I had to solder 2 doubles together to ,get the same result/quote]

They are japanese connectors, different from bullet connectors or fastons. In EU I usually find them on classic/ vintage automotive parts shops. Maybe you can find them in specialised electrical automotive shops?
