Wiring harness connector

I'm pretty sure I saw someone post what wiring harness connector is being used at the root but I can't seem to find that info now.

Anyone know the specific connector and pins? I'd like to use the open spaces in the connector...

Yes that is correct. You can get them ad Digikey or Mouser. Get the gold plated pins, and you need a special crimp tool as well (not cheap but necessary). I am also using the extra holes for the CiES fuel sender, puddle lights power, and OAT probe (R wing).

Do you know if the DMC crimper will work for the CPC pins? I assume they have solid pins available…

What lights are you using for puddle lights?

Can you share what special crimping tool you need for these?
 
My plan is to order some pins and see if what I already have will work. I was in the aero/auto electrical business and have several high end AMP/Molex tools.

Get the gold plated pins if your mating connector has gold plated pins. Keep tin with tin and gold with gold. If you mix metals, your connections could suffer from galvanic corrosion, fretting corrosion, oxide‑related contact resistance, and/or intermetallic formation.

The tools and pin part numbers are in the Series 1 spec sheets. Haven't had a chance to look them up yet (I bought a bunch of stuff 20 years ago, so using leftover pins from that).

The pins on the wing connectors are gold plated.
