Clean connections (wiring noob making a harness)

shane_lxi

Been Around the Block
I'm making a harness from scratch for my sl350, and I'm using this very helpful diagram from oldmanhonda. One question I have though is there are a lot of 4-way connectors, and I'm not sure what is the cleanest way to do this with readily available fitting/connectors. I know the oem harness has some 4-way bullet connectors, but I don't know anywhere to buy anything like that aftermarket. Anyway, any help is appreciated!!

Here's the diagram I'm using...

I'm having trouble with the connections like the ones I marked.

Those are 3 way connectors. One wire is crimped on, the other three are bullets.

www.vintageconnections.com has them. If you stay with original connectors on the bullets, then get the 3.5 MM

If you change both sides, you could go to the 4mm.
 
wouldn't it be possible to use a terminal block instead of those connectors? double up on terminals?
 
If you go with vintageconnections stuff, get their racheting crimper! It's invaluable.

It's also worth a couple of sacrificed pieces to test out crimping the connectors onto various sizes of wire if you're doing that. Using the tool on a 12ga wire feels a lot different than using it on a 16ga wire...you have to squeeze a lot harder to get the connector properly clamped down on the smaller wire.
