Nice! How thick of steel will that roller do, and why did you choose it over the numerous similar ones? I can't wait to see how it turns out.

P.S. All speed holes should get rolled beads around them, it looks so cool!

The Manta is a fantastic car, they handle much better than the GTs. It's a shame we never got any of the cool Manta A special editions or the Manta B at all in the states, they had a great rally career including my favorite moment with Ari Vatanen:

I've used a lot of bayonet style MIL-DTL-26482, Series 2 Connectors on various projects and have not found them lacking. 500 hours salt spray mated is nothing to sneer at! Offers good vibe resistance to 20G random.

Check out some of the larger shell sizes for multiple contact sizes in one package. Most notably the 22-95S with 26 #20 20-24 gauge pins and 6 #12 12-14 gauge pins

Otherwise the the 38999 offers many series and flavors. The -TV has a TON of small contacts, and a tristart thread instead of a bayonet. They take up to 50G rms random vibe. Also, hardcore shielding. Prepare your wallet, though. Less dense ones with similar performance can be found in the Series III DEUTSCH DTS connectors.

DTS http://www.peigenesis.com/images/content/pei_tabs/deutsch/38999-series-iii-metal/new-thumbs/61-74_dts_38999_seriesiii.pdf

Lots of interesting contact combos in there, too. You can even get QUADRAX contacts for passing through twisted pairs. I once got the pleasure of speccing one to carry multiple ethernet connections.

Edit: If you don't have a crimper available, try https://store.crimptools.com/26-daniels-crimping-tools- for some good used or NOS ones, they check them out to make sure they aren't cooched, EBAY ones are usually a mystery.
