I then greased the tiny holes in the new rubber gromet/dust caps (from Bus Depot) with dielectric grease and gently pushed the the wire with the female connector still attached through the holes, worked alot better than I thought it would given the small size of the hole. Very inexpensive project but help keep those electical conections protected from the elements. Pascal '84 Westy
