I bought an EDIS kit from a fellow in CA for my '71 XJ6 a few years back, and that came with connectors that needed a proper crimping tool, but resulted in a very high quality "B" crimp (for

As to the 8x1.25 bolts with 12 MM heads... There are lots of spots, like u-joints, where there is no room for a 13 mm head. -- Matthew M Spielberg 21855 Redwood Road Castro Valley, CA 94546 (510)

+1 on Global Metrics for fasteners, did not know they did connectors! Re connectors, there's a lot of personal preference in selecting them. I have crimpers and connector sets for Weatherpack,

If that's the same company as 45 years ago, . . . They were the first one to supply us with the right fasteners. Flange/washer head screws and bolts: (others said, "just use a washer, nobody cares

Try Napa, they carry better quality then most auto stores ....

I have had good experiences with UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) kits off Ebay. In addition to being correct for fixing my Honda bikes, they are also useful elsewhere. Use the gold plated

Is it better quality? At this point, I'd rather pay a bit extra to get a better "perceived" quality. I bought some connectors from Home Depot (?) that included the traditional crush crimper - which

Are the Harbor Freight ones of acceptale quality? They sell assortments pretty cheap, sometimes including a toy crimper.

Hi, Is there a good place to get electrical connectors - butt splice plugs, bullet connectors, etc? I've been going to O'Reilly and Pepboys but the quality seems a bit lacking at times. I'm in Santa
