Steering Column Wiring
Just finishing my wiring up and I've got a question. After cussing the plastic gang terminals on the Flaming River column and the Rebel Wire harness for 3 hours trying to align them right it occurred to me..why not just cut the damn things off and wire it individually with crimp connecters and shrink tubing? Certainly easier and, in my mind, smaller and cleaner. Am I missing the obvious?

The whole point of having a connector is so you don't have to cut and resplice your wiring harness if you ever needed to service the turn signal switch or take out the steering column. If having to redo your work again sometime in the future doesn't bother you, then you'll be fine.
