wat Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry if that sounds confusing, but I have an endless supply of pigtails at the junkyard and rather than having something look super hacked and splicing all my wires coming out from the pig tails I'd like to have a better option. Do they sell the metal sleeves that crimp on to your wire before you insert it into a pig tail, that way you can keep as few splices as possible I'm looking for those metal pins in bulk and the crimper. I tried for an hour in google but lost. All I see are expensive weather pack options, Quote Link to comment
lostforawhile Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 They have smaller kits,but one of these is going to be. Your best bet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/755pc-WeatherPack-Connector-Kit-Delphi-Weather-Pack-/230951783760?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item35c5cc8d50&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
wat Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 yeah but that's exactly what I said I wasn't looking for. Doing that would be a last resort. If I can find a way just to reuse stock pigtails I'd be set. I want to rebuild the old harness I have but it's been hacked and sliced so much I'd like to get rid of as many butt connectors and splices as possible. Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I've seen the small female connectors at stereo stores, hit them up. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 You can also get some connectors at Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 And they (Radio shack) have a actual catalog you can still order from in the store somewhere,, the kid up front may say they don`t but it`s there somewhere.. Quote Link to comment
lostforawhile Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The issue you are going to run into, there are tens of thousands of different crimp terminal,its not a one size fits all item,then you have to take into account how old your pins are,and those pins might be obsolete, with a late model car,they often use standardized pins for their entire line,but back then the standards were different, a good pack of weatherpack terminals like that is pretty economical if you look at the price of quality terminals Quote Link to comment
lostforawhile Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Don't buy radio shack molex terminals, they are garbage most of what they carrry is cheap junk Quote Link to comment
spottedog Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Mouser Electronics, big ass online parts warehouse, grab the .pdf catalog section relating to connecters. Quote Link to comment
lostforawhile Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 wait until you see how many different pins there are lol , use the pig tails like they are,solder and heat shrink on the wires to the harness and wrap your harness, it looks just fine and isnt hacked looking at all Quote Link to comment
