Quick Disconnects - What size needed?
Chris:
The .187's are definately tricker to find in any kind of bulk. I've found them at Ace Hardware in packs of 50. Peale sells (or used to sell) packs of them that were really nice and fully insulated, and really inexpensive. My Home Depot only carries .250's. You can use the .250's on .187 tabs, but you'll probably need to crimp them ever so slightly with pliers to make them fit snug.

Well, no go at Farm and Fleet either. I guess I'll jsut stick with the 1/4" ones (.250) and see how they work when my stuf farrives. I'm sure I can just tighten the ends a bit if they seem too lose.
Thanks for the help though.

Go to Graingers. They may have to order them for you, but they'll definitely be able to get them for you. If an electrical supply house can't get them for you, there's no hope for you ;)
Tell them you're looking for part 4X293.

Hrm...I had no problem finding .187" at my closest Radio Shacks and Home Depot and Lowes. In RadioShack they are in the set of draws that they usually have for different parts but they are usually in small quantities. Home Depot and Lowes have themin their Electrical sections.
.250" and .187" are a lot more common in the US than say .110" (which are used for Sanwa parts by the way). If anyone is looking for .110" and has a hard time they should try vectosurplus.com That's where I just got mine. A bag of 100 for $7 and change. They also have all sorts of wire, heat shrink, barrier strips. They also have .187" and .250" quick disconnects. Careful though because they have a $10 minimum order or else they will charge you $3.
