Quick Disconnects - What size needed?
DrewKaree:
where in WI are you located? There's a distributor in Brookfield who might be able to help you.

I went to my local Menards store today and they only have .250 size so that was a bust. Are the .187's a non-standard size? I bought a box of the .250s so we'll see if they fit or not.
Hey Drew, who's the guy in Brookfield? I work right in Waukesha by Sams.
I guess tomorrow I'll check with Home Depot and see if they have anything.
DrewKaree:
I know right where you're at. Skip the guy in Brookfield and go to that Fleet Farm or Farm & Fleet or whatever the heck they call it - the one on 18 behind that PDQ. They've got 'em. I bought mine there. Home Depot should have them too, but they're a tad more expensive. Otherwise, you can go down to Hwy 100 and between Northern Tool and HOBO there's a Graingers (electrical supply house). (That's right off the freeway on Hwy 100)
You won't find wire easily available around here in 18-22 gauge except for at Radio Shack. Grainger SHOULD have some available, but they seem to sell out of it pretty quickly. You'd think they stock more, but they do a lot more business in mail-order.
If you still want, here's the two distributors for our area and I haven't dealt with them, so I don't know which to tell you (although ponyboy has better prices on buttons/joys than Happs). From the Happs book:

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the Farm & Fleet tomorrow.
I'm going to try Cat5 cable for the wire because I have an unlimited supply of that. Hopefully it will work OK.
Thanks.

Hi. I have a Mag-Stick Plus and .187 connectors, and the .187 connectors are way too small. I'm guessing the Mag-Stick needs .250 connectors.
