Those last crimps looked way better.

Ferrari loves peened nuts I have a theory that a far sighted "sales engineer" at an Italian hardware maker contributed a chapter and some lire to a textbook publisher. The peened nut is everywhere on Italian machinery, and the manual always says use a new nut.

It looked like a lot of grease but yeah, the boots on everything are shot, the plan is replace it all i guess.
The shock and brake line are challenging my budget...but....

Yes! It looks like 3 pins, 3 crimpers needed. I have almost $100 into them so that's a pretty big big expense compared to a $500 ecu and makes a flying lead harness look cheap. I think its going to be like $200 for a 3m 154 wire harness. But I think it probably also makes sense to offer a crimper set rental....$20 a month or something like that.
Future problems, now I'm ready to start swapping the new connector onto my harness to be ready when the ecu arrives.
Mostly popped the front end apart today. The ball joints and tie rod ends all seem fine....the boots not so much.
I ordered replacement boots, billows for the steering ($13 for the pair...I'll see what shows up) and the hub grease seals. I need to clean and paint everything and try to be ready to reassemble when the bits arrive from CA. I need to design and make a spacer for the lower balljoint too to fix the front roll center. Then the power steering.....tick tock....
I started blasting the a-arms for paint and remembered the blaster is mostly shot. Ordered a new handle and moved on to designing the balljoint spacer and order material to make it.
