It could be helpful to someone who needs to repair electrical connections in his/her Z.

That looks like a lot of work, replacing all of them. I guess for a complete restoration?

Or if you own or work on multiple Zs.

I did comment on the Facebook post to ask if they could make a list of what's in the kit. 

Of course, it doesn't have the dash harness to engine harness connectors for a 73.

They posted an image of the list of connectors in the kit.

Oh, I thought everyone knew about Vintage Connections. I've been using them for years - originally bought the kit and crimper and have been ordering ala-carte ever since. Great connectors! The have insulated bullet connectors, insulated spade connectors, and ring connectors as well. Quality parts, great service and they've always shipped promptly. I'm starting to sound like a commercial...  I've repaired many a harness using their parts and I've even built new dash harnesses and an engine harness.

I've been a loyal customer for many years, but they are under new ownership. One of the new products they came out with is a Yamaha connector. This 6-pin connector has the round pins found on the meters for a 260Z/280Z. @S30Driver used those on a car he was working on.

Ooo, that's a nice kit, I wonder if they would make me up one for the 510.

Big thanks to Steve for putting me on to the kit with the male & female pins I needed to adapt the new Speedhut gauges to the stock dash harness 6 & 8 pin connectors.   They worked out well.

It wouldn't hurt to reach out to them and ask. I know at least one of the guys working for them likes Z cars. Maybe the love is there for the 510. You may need to tell them which items you need and quantities. I usually order extra pins myself, just in case a crimp isn't as solid as I like.

which of these suppliers is preferable? Better quality and more varied kits for my 1972 240Z?

I have bought many things from Vintage connections. No problems. Haven't dealt with the other company
