Does anybody have a line on where to get Deutsch connectors and terminals, along with crimping tools? Would also like to have a cross-reference of Harley PN's to Deutsch. I'm not sure, but I think Harley # 74190-98 is the terminal for Deutsch DTM "mini". Any place to get a crimper for under $200? Local dealer only stocks 10 terms. Thanks!

BTW, I did try a forum search and found a few threads containing Deutsch, but not the info I need.

 

Try Amazon, maybe not the cheapest but everything you need is there.

 

I made my own rear speaker harness using deutsch connectors, I found a used crimper for $30 locally. I ordered from Pacer, get a repair pack and it comes with pins, remember to order both plug and receptacle (http://www.pacergroup.net/Categories...tsch_DT_Series). If you order the regular kit you'll have to order the right pins so the repair pack makes it easier. Crimping these are really easy, get a good wire stripper like this (can be bought locally much cheaper); http://www.pacergroup.net/ItemForm.a...8-2507b3c18d6e

Here's another place;

J&P Cycles has them, crimper, pins, connector housings, disassembly tool/pin extractors.

 

I buy my connectors from Jawzy's Powersports, Deutsch and Novello, and bought the crimper at the local electronics store $39. Jawzy's also sells tools. If you know the #s EBAY search, be sure to specify male or female.

 

Thanks guys. Checked local pawn and electrical stores, no dice. I found plenty of "open barrel" crimpers, even have a nice ratcheting set, already.
Here's the rub: I have worked in a H-D dealership for the last 9 years and got spoiled to the Genuine Deutsch crimpers that actually make two separate crimps at once. I have crimpers that make the "F style (?)" crimp on the stranded wire but not the "O" crimp over the insulation (I know, "**** retentive").

FYI: MSD markets a set of ratcheting crimpers with various interchangeable dies, one of which is the Deutsch dual crimp with four different wire size ranges. Sold by Summit Racing, and maybe Jeg's. $90 for the crimpers that include plug wire dies and another $42 for the Deutsch dies.

For now, I sacrificed an old pair of needle nose pliers and used the old Bridgeport mill at my new job to drill a hole in the jaws for the "O" crimp. Now every crimp is a two-step process but it got this job done. I do enough side work that I will be investing in the set from Summit.

 

I worked at Deutsch for many years making those connectors.

You can get the terminals and connector plugs from Dennis Kirk

 

You can also find them on eBay.
