So I need to replace the Molex connectors on the power I/O's on the Gorf. I've never replaced a molex connector before, so I had a few questions.

I need to replace the 9, 12, and 19 pin .156 molex connectors on the harness. I've been on Bob Roberts website and see two different kinds of connectors.

What is the difference (or does it matter) if I use the Trifurcon or standard pins?

I was going to order the following:

.156 Housing with pins 12 pos (Trifurcon Pins)
.156 Housing with pins 9 pos
.156 Housing with pins 19 pos(Trifurcon Pins)

Is this correct?

I also need a molex tool. Does anyone have a decent low-cost recommendation?
 
The plugs that go in the top of the board stack are .100 molex, not .156. The power plug on the bottom of the cage is .156.
Use the trifuricated pins whenever possible. I dont think they make them for the .100 connectors though. Bob sells a cheap crimper that works ok.
 
I think I'm going to replace just the power connectors for now. I'll replace the boardset connectors only if this does not work. I know the boardset is working because I had it swapped with a working set and it it is now working fine. This Gorf has been kinda a pain in the rear.
