Ian,
At GE plastics, the rule of thumb: each connector increased the risk of failure by a factor of ten.  On critical applications we tried not to use any.  Earl

I am going to redo my right hand side instrument panel to accomodate some new equipment.
 
I would like to build the panel on the bench and hook it up in the a/c using connectors.  The right hand side of my panel houses all the switches, circuit breakers and engine gauges. This will make the panel easily removeable if needs be.
 
Does anyone have any comments on the idea of using connectors?  Does it pose any questions of reliability or potential failure?
 
If anyone has done it, what connectors did they use and where did they get them?
