Towing electrics connector

[Mogwyth]

Just got a nice hefty LR towbar for the D2 cheap, but there are no connectors on the cables. Does any one sell just the connector to connect the cable from the towbar to vehicle electrics I begrudge paying £3-40 a complte one which I don't need and I don't realy want to start cutting into wires etc knowing my luck I 'll be on a fuse hunt agian.:rolleyes:

Bill,

The Connector is the same as the one used on the TD5 Defender 12N Towing Harness, you can sometimes pick those up cheap(ish) on eBay.

The Connector is a Sumitomo DL Sealed Series - 090/187(2.3/4.8mm) – HYBRID, 9-Way Male Housing, Part No. M(6195-0173)

96955

You will also need 7 x 090(2.3mm) and 2 x 187(4.8mm) Male Terminals, with the appropriate Wire Seals for each Terminal (I have the Part No's if you want them :o )

Good luck trying to buy a single connector anywhere :eek:

I've been trying to get hold of a small quantity of this, and other, Sumitomo Connectors for a while now and I'm not having a great deal of joy :(

Your best bet is probably eBay, or the Autojumble/Old Sodbury Sortout at the LRO Show at Peterborough in a couple of weeks time.


Paul.

Cheers Paul. I am looking on Ebay. Unfortunately the weekend of the Autojumble/Old Sodbury Sortout I am in Belgium at a convention. :(
