Repair kit for fuse box charred "W" connector.

I did this fix on my Mondial and it has worked great!

Since I had to buy a lot more more of the gold plated 3/16" connectors that I needed for my repair, I decided to use the extra parts to make up a few kits to simplify the repair for other owners.

Each kit includes one gold plated 3/16" connector crimped and soldered to 4" of 12 gauge copper wire with a 10-12 gauge butt/crimp connector soldered to the other end.

I also included a piece of heavy duty heat shrink tubing to cover the butt connector when you have completed the repair.

I also adjusted the 3/16" connectors to open them up a bit since they are tight as supplied when you try to push them onto the male connectors in the fuse box.

You still have to remove the old metal female connector by cutting the charred part of the white plastic "W" connector with a Dremel or a similar tool, cut the wire to the connector and crimp the butt connector in the kit to the original wire coming into the connection. You can solder this connection if you want it to be more secure. Then cover the butt connector with the heat shrink and apply heat to secure it.

I realize the ultimate solution to this is to replace the fuse box, but this repair takes care of the overheated connector(s) and will buy you some time until you can buy and install a new, upgraded fuse box and the fix can be done in about 15 minutes with the pre-assembled parts in my kit.

It takes one kit to replace each charred connector and they are priced at $15 each plus $3 shipping. I can ship multiple kits for the same $3 charge.

If you have two charred connectors like I did, then you will need two repair kits.

Pics below show the charred connector and the kits I put together.

There is a thread here showing how to make the repair, see post #6, #8 & #11 and the link in post #9.

I saw another charred "W" connector on one of the cars during our recent "Mondial Euro Tour" so I am bumping this thread to remind you all that I have still these repair kits available.
