Did not work
Interpreting the RidiculousM photo of pins and some direct experience in the past few days with pins for the GDL82, the right pin with the big red arrow appears to be a high-density D-sub male pin identical to the ones I purchased at Fry's electronics store. Those pins from Frys have no color codes/bands.
Working with another RV'er on the field with a Stein crimper, he ordered and received, from Stein, the proper inserts for my project to crimp male and female high-density D-sub pins.
It turns out, in our situation, that the my pins from Frys will not fit in the Stein-supplied crimper. The "shoulder" on the Frys pins prohibits them from fitting into the Stein-supplied crimp tool. The 15 male pins from Garmin, with color bands, worked fine with the Stein-supplied crimp tool and inserts. My solution is to buy more high-density D-sub pins with the color code bands.
To RidiculousM, I don't think the Stein tool will work. I think you will probably need to buy pins that have the color code bands and don't have the shoulder...
