I think I am about to start pulling my loom and relays to check them over
for fit, finish , conductivity and function. Anyone have a really good
source for a complete schematic for a 1993 9000 Aero?

I would very much like to do this once if possible. While there, I would
like to install better connectors and heavier wire where appropriate. Any
leads on a good general source for both?

Finally - there are several loom end point connectors that are specific to
a given electrical device. ie the Safety Valve. Any thoughts on casting
better (more robust and perhaps water proof) connectors in these cases? Is
it time to break out my old Lionel epoxy modeling kit?

Cheers - I'll kick this over to saabnet as well to see if it picks up
traffic too

Many of the connectors are specific to the item they connect to. The Bosch air
mass sensor comes to mind for some reason.

If you do want to replace connectors where you can - bear in mind that auto
connectors are designed for an aggressive enveronment. Only military /
aerospace types are likely to outperform them.

I have a supply of commercial Marine gear handy being I live on the Port
of Halifax. I wonder if the answer is to look at somehow gel sealing base
connections themselves as I clean them. Not the heavy multi-pin stuff of
course, I'm pretty sure they will be happy with a heavy contact clean and
a light silicon oil - but some of the single and double pin stuff attached
to the sensors might benefit...

Like I said - I *really* only want to do this once if possible.

Hummm..

MIL connectors work by sealing out the sh.t. That's why they're pricey.

Many auto connectors do a good job too.

Guess you'll have to make your own decision, bearing in mind you can't replace
unit specific connections that ate pretty 'hardened' anyway.
