Greetings:

I would like to fabricate (vs. pay $193 from Baum Tools) a breakout
connector; that is to say, a combination male and female 25 pin connector
that I can use to observe commerce between the ECU and the FI/Ign system.  I
am eventually headed toward a digitool, but since my ECU is under warranty
(and will be for another 17 months) I am unwilling to break the seals to
install the required leads.

Baum has a pre-fabricated break-out harness, for almost $200!  comes
complete with the male, female and connector for the ribbon cable; looks
custom, no doubt.

Someone must make the Bosch 25 pin 2 row connectors in male and female; the
question is "who" and "what do you call it?"  Anyone know where to find the
connectors?  I may resort to salvaging a harness connector, and scavenging
the female end from a very dead ECU; but I would like to start by locating
new connectors; seems a little easier to me.

So:  What is the designation of these connectors, and where can I find them?

TIA/Roger
