I have several cars that I am going to redo electrically and in at least two cases, I must make the wiring harnesses, because they no longer exist:

a 1949 MB 170 S becoming a 170DS

a 1953 MB 220 4 dr with Webasto

I got a 1971 220D needing work, but engine compression is so good it started without benefit of glow plugs! I know this because the ground wire on the series glow plugs is corroded in pieces!

I could make an emergency glow plug ground out of a small diameter copper pipe where I flatten the two ends with a hammer then drill holes for the screw connections, but since I need to do a lot of wire crimping, I want DEPENDABLE tools and connections.

I'd like some recommendations on SERIOUS (yes, expensive) professional tools and a source for a lot of sizes of crimp connections and wire from 16 gauge to 000 gauge. I'll make my own battery cables too

Thanks,
S
