Thanks for the information folks.

Seems I jumped to a conclusion in assuming I was dealing with a stock
connector and (if applicable) stock cabling. Hope the info I posted
wasn't too misleading.

Even though the repair I did to my '81 has held up and the part is
rated for outdoor use, given it's location and application, I can see
how it might not hold up over the long term.

Neil.
