Electrical...where do you get your disconnects?
mcseforsale:
In my past CP, I used the .250 female disconnects from HD. They were just a bit big and clumsy.
I'm wondering where your sources are for the .187 (3/16) ones....is it a local supplier? Do you get them from internet retailers? Or, do you just use the ones at HD?
Thanks!

I prefer this style (center) with clear insulation sleeves, but they require special crimpers. Got mine from Paradise Arcade Shop.

To be perfectly honest, I'd prefer those. I don't have the tool, though. If I did more 'lectric on the car, I'd def. be down for those. All of the molex use those, too, right? Hmmm.

For the "standard" Molex connectors you see in most arcade machines, yes the crimpers used to crimp those quick disconnects also work for those Molex pins. For smaller Molex and JST pins I have another die set for the crimpers as well as another set of smaller crimpers for the really small pins. Here the small die set is installed in the crimpers and the die set that came with the crimpers are on the table (the label says Molex pins for the small die set because I was crimping Molex Micro-fit pins from the previous pic):
You should be able to find a set of those crimpers for around $30 that come with the larger die set. You can get the smaller die set (part# HT-236-2C4-DIE) for around $8 online.

Interesting...
I wonder if that die set would fit in this:

How much cheaper are those terminals?
I'm seeing the HD .250" 50 for $4.70.
