Doubt you'll find it pre-made, especially since distances between contacts can vary significantly.  And if you do it will cost $$ for that labor.

I believe everyone makes their own. Just buy some .187" Quick Disconnects, some wire and crimp them on yourself.  www.therealbobroberts.net sells both the QD's and wire, though you can use almost any stranded wire from 14 to 20 gauge that you have lying around, e.g. lamp wire zip cords, etc..

You can pick up a bag of 50 .187 QD's for $5 IIRC, plus wire costs to make a lot of these.

so how do you cut sections of the insulation out in order to connect the quik disconnects to them?

I know how to strip wire end but dont know of a tool that takes sections out  :dunno

You just cut the wire, strip both cut ends, twist them together, and put both into the quick disconnect.
