Everything shown in that package I essentially have. I've been using a crimper, red (16-22awg) crimps, and 18awg wire, and have been using the daisy-chain method with some success. However, I'm going to try that "single long wire" method and see how that goes.

Glad to see so many people are concerned with stuff like this.  :)

Chris2:
One more note: anyone know a good place to get wire and crimps?

TheShanMan:
Sometimes auto parts places have decent prices on wire and terminals. I'm headed over later today to get some from a regional shop that I know has good prices.

The only downside I can see (both methods are good) is that if you crimp connectors all at once on a long wire, what if one of the connectors are too short to reach another microswitch?  I cut each one to length as I wired my CP, and even so, I ended up re-doing a few because I cut them too short.
