What's more work? soldering and epoxing in a few wires?

You should be able to find a connector kit for the TPS... call Motec?

You might be able to keep the stock coolant temp sensor, but why? They can be had with a connector kit for $38?

I was never able to find a replacement socket and terminals for the BAC. Only option is either the teminal/epoxy route or rape a connector from a different harness.

Epoxying yes. Soldering not so much.

I think I might honestly just clip my BAC connector from my factory harness, solder it on the Haltech harness (I know, I know, but I'm planning on replacing the BAC eventually anyways so I'd just be wasting a crimp if I did it that way--in fact I may do that for a majority of the sensors I have to use).

Would have to be rather inexpensive as I'm already planning on trashing it once the above criteria is met.

Maybe when I upgrade the intake manifold I'll spend the extra $38 bucks. It just seems kind of pointless right now.

That sucks. Not even Motec sells 'em?
