Default GM Weatherpak fittings vs. Cannon plugs

Could money be safely saved by using GM Weatherpak fittings instead of
Cannon plugs? The Weatherpaks are showing up in some pretty harsh
industrial places in preference to Cannon plugs.

My opinion is that they would be excellent. Where can you get them?

Try PICO of Canada Ltd. They have those for sale.

Their site is unfortunately under construction right now. The 2002 .pdf
catalog I have shows the GM Weatherpak fittings in the page 18.

I used them on every electrical connection in my experimental and am
VERY happy with the performance. They seal up watertight, have a
positive lock so they cannot come apart and are priced right. I bought
mine at the local NAPA store and they had most sizes in stock. Two wire
was 3 bucks or so, the three wire was 4, four was about 6 bucks. The
only one size they needed to order in was the 5 wire one, it took the
next day for that one to show up. I am betting any good auto store has
them. Just look in the "aviation" section of the store. G
