Bulkhead Connecter

The wire for the Hall sensor needs to be shielded. The shilding is grounded at the same point as the ECU. That's pretty simple.
Running that cable through a bulkhead connecter seems pretty simple also, using three connections.
Does the shielded cable need to be in it's own bulkhead connceter? Or can it be added with the other wires from the DB37 connecter?

Must you use a bulkhead connector? Connectors are always the first thing to give trouble on a loom, so the fewer the better. Could you not just run the loom through the bulkhead protected by a grommet? With the more common connectors like Junior Timer etc you should still be able to run the complete loom through the bulkhead hole.

Yeah, I could. The car already has a bulkhead connecter, and I'm considering re-using it, as I re-use the existing harness. But the one time I disconnected that item was when it came loose and I had to take it apart to fix it properly. One of my thoughts is to eliminate that connecter altogether

You can run the RPM input through a bulkhead connector no problem. We've done this on one of our own project cars.
