You have an identical wiring requirement to me... right down to the Rite-Angle

AoA.

The AoA is not sensitive to connector type as all it does is measure a variable

resistor. The strobe is high voltage but low current and again doesn't need a 
specialised connector - Whelen use Molex connectors as the standard output 
connector on all of their units.

I brought my wiring out just forward of the seat back about mid way between the

wing surfaces. To protect against chafing I fitted plastic ferrules in the 
holes. I the mounted an AMP Mate-n-Lok connector on the cables with about 10cm

of wire free. I initially looked at having  support plate for it here but the 
space is pretty tight between the fuselage and wing root so gave up. The wing 
wires have 30cm of free wire to allow me to connect them before fully rigging 
the wings. If you wrap the wires together with spiral wrap you wind up with a 
good strong bundle.

The pitot static tubes come out of a hole just above the wires and have Europa

supplied connectors on them for quick mating.

Tony
