	I have bought an aftermarket loom for my 72 mgb, it comes connected to a modern fuse box with relays but bare wires at the other end, i am planning on hiding most of the engine bay wiring so this allows me to reroute it out of site. Its my intention to replace all of the connectors with modern Deutsch DT connectors so I have started hunting for a connector starter pack with crimping tool, does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable source of this style kit, there are a lot on ebay but I'm worried about ending up with a fake set, or cheap crimper? I'd also like to label each wire with heat shrink labels, again there are various label printers available although they vary wildly in price and no doubt quality, i don't want to buy a kit that isn't compatible with heat shrink reals, so again, any recommendations? Thanks

	At work I've used both Dymo and Brady label machines, both are good, personally I preferred the Brady.

	For many years I have simply used clear shrink tubing and printed labels from my computer cut to fit along the wire and shrunk into place. I know one of my injection looms is still in use and still as good after 20 years
