[TowerTalk] Outdoor General Use Connectors

[Don]

Tough to beat a use in the conditions like a race car might face I'd 
imagine. Which led me to think to see if Del City (whom I've bought some 
odd trailer connectors from) might carry them. Sure enough - 
https://www.delcity.net/store/Wire-Connectors-&-Quick-Splices/.

I've no interest in them other than that I bought some specialized 
trailer connectors from them. Found them to be fair priced and fast re 
delivery. Also very responsive to questions I posed on trailer 
connectors ( was using them for purposes other than a trailer and needed 
something that would work in my salt air environment).
