So as you can see by my title of the post I need a bunch of internal wiring stuff.

I got a local radio shack in town but its small and doubles as a video rental store. I took a look at their web site but I have herd the prices are inflated.

(What really need at the moment is a bunch of wiring  terminals with jumpers. $5 bucks a pop and I need about 10 or more $50+OUCH!)

I did some searches on the web and found it hard to wade through all the info. There must be a site that most cab builders on this forum are using that I have missed. :o

Luckydevil:
I order all my small electrical stuff from Parts Express and Digikey.

Wiring terminals?  Have an example?

I've got a bunch of internal stuff available, like wire, female quick disconnects and the like. 

michelevit:
i've done away with terminals and now solder wire directly to switches and buttons.
i enjoy soldering and don't mine breaking out the iron to melt metal.

as far as wire we have a couple of surplus electronics stores that beat any real store price.
they have wires by the mile.  I just picked up over 50 feet of teflon coated 16 gauge for
ONE DOLLAR!!!

i love the place its called halted and its in santa clara ca.

Yeah! I always found Ebay to be the cheapest when it comes to small components like that..  All my disconects came off there.  It's actually cheaper than the trade suppliers that I use at work.
