Default Splitters for a new injector harness

All,

I'm currently away from the house and car but wanted to get parts ordered to build my new injector harness when I get home. The biggest thing I'm struggling with is trying to figure out what connectors to use to split the wires. Looking at this diagram

The left side wires all get split from one to three. The right side does the same PLUS get an additional split to branch each of the three groupings (if that makes sense).

Is this the kind of connector I should be looking at or something else?

I looked through some of the other posts but couldn't find anything that specifically spelled out the kind of connectors required for doing this.

I'm going to order all of the wire, heat shrink, wrapping sleeve, etc to hopefully end up with something looking like this

But again need to know how to make all of the splits inside the wrapped harness work.

Thanks again as always!

I always figured this would be a solder and shrink wrap job.

Thanks Vee.

Actually though I’m not a big fan of soldering…mainly because I’m not very good at it😂 I’d prefer to just use connectors if possible and these seem to be a good option so was wondering if anyone else has used them or something similar. Maybe I’ll be the first.

Cheers

I think I would get a good quality crimp over those, I'm not sure I would want to experiment with the fuel injector harness. I saw someone mentioned in one of the Facebook groups they wired the injectors in parallel (I think) and that eliminated the need for a crimp or solder connection in the harness.

Jaguar (or Rists…) used little copper rings, crimped. Those plastic lever connectors look awfully bulky.

I have just found these little beauties, and I think thay will be a decent way of making a single wire into two. I have ordered some. They are on US ebay as well as over this side.
