Hmm, really? Dynon and Stein seem to be ok with Molex. Used them on my -8 without any issues.
Personally, I'd replace the bracket and go with the Dynon instructions then cut off the Molex and replace with a standard DB15 connector.
Molex connectors are ok for lights and misc. stuff that doesn't really matter, but not ok for low level or data bus signals.
Be prepared for lots of mystery problems on the 14 due to the wide use of Molex connectors.
Take a look at this old thread and then tell me you don't think servo stop are important!!!!!

Is it a valid argument to install a safety related part for an issue that was caused by a flagrant construction error? (Pretty sure this example was no where close to what is specified)
I guess each builder has to answer that question for them self, but if it is true, then I guess every RV built should have a BRS system installed.
Scott, I agree that the push-pull rods are a good safety device to prevent the servos from going over center, but being a belt-and-suspenders type, I still hate to eliminate a safety feature like the stop bracket. It's possible a badly-adjusted linkage or incorrect servo arm install could still let the arm go over center. Also, other parts of the linkage may fail or be damaged somehow. For example, the length of the arm which transfers the servo force to the bellcrank (circled) has a fair amount of leverage all concentrated on that nut plate (arrow) and if it should loosen or bend, conceivably the servo arm could also go over center...
On a flight using A/P, loads on that nut plate can cycle back and forth thousands of times, so the mounting rivets get a good workout
I commented on this a while ago..Glad I installed the stop bracket

One thing is very obvious in this pic. That connector sure looks like a much neater installation and a more secure connection than the molex connectors that come stock with the 14 harnesses.
