f.i. connectors

[dingo]

unless im missing something, i find the f.i. female connectors a pain in the ass to release(especially on injectors)...so i replaced with connectors from 90s Volvo which have easy disconnect and have the same interface.

It woul;d be nice to have the easy disconnect Bosch fuel connectors too...but that might be more work than its worth

If you release the little metal pins or sockets at the ends of the wires in the plastic connector bodies, can you just snap them into the Volvo ones?
I think there are are almost generic release springs that you can subsitute in place of the simple 3/4 rectangular ones that came with the bus. These have a nice v-shaped push-to-release shape. No more wild pulling and cracking brittle plastic.

This guy (Kyle) makes (or uses) "easy on/off" FI connectors. I just saw one of his newest Thursday night. Go here:

His stuff is not cheap, but it is extremly high quality. You can link to some pics of his stuff here:
