Default Dynon EGT wire connectors

Not to beat this to death but we recently had #4 EGT go intermittant then fail. While investigating, we found two connectors (one on probe side, one on harness side) so loose they literally fell off once disconnected. These were on cylinders on the opposite side from #4 so in addition to the failed #4 sensor, we had other potential failure points. We've ordered all new probes and we're wanting to shorten (rather than bundle) the excess wire and install new, better connectors. I checked with Dynon and there is no problem with shortening the wires (digital - D180). so, what do you guys recommend for the new connectors? Some mentioned in earlier posts have been discontinued.

Many thanks.

After having intermittent issues with my Dynon EGT probes, I simply re-crimped all the connectors. No issues since, knock on wood.
