I need ideas and or photos of compact electrical splice hardware, let me explain.
There’s a lot of extra wire that has been folded over, wound up or just tucked away and it doesn’t look good. It’s not covered by tape or the split flexible ribbed plastic tubbing that’s on newer cars and trucks, it has zip ties here and there. Neither the starting point nor the end points are readily accessible so that I could disconnect, cut and reconnect. Another need is some connections like the water temp sensors are farther away on the new intake so I need to extend a couple wires with the same situation in mind.
My goal is to clean up what’s here. I could easily cut and fasten (weave, fold over and solder) wire ends, install a secure connector piece and cover with a shrink tube but it looks terrible after you start seeing them in several places. HD sells electrical connectors for low voltage lights but they are too big for automotive wiring.
Years ago Lokar sold these very small connectors, you butt wires together and close the clasp so a metal bridge inside pierced the insulated wires and completed the circuit. It looked neat and tidy, not a bee hive bulge on the wires. However they stopped selling for some unexplained reason.
I hope I described this situation well enough - I could dig into this and do it the professional (invisible) way but I don’t have the time.
