I have found in my neck of the woods, NAPA is the best source for
connectors hands down. Only place that I could find bullet connectors.

Guys, thanks for all the information. I did notice the 3 metal tabs, but they seemed fairly solid, and somehow I do not think that I would be able to bend them back the same way. Right now the switch is 1/2 submerged in a molasses/water bath for rust removal. It has been 24 hours. 80% of the rust came off the keys, 10% of the switch body, 70% off the copper sleeves from the idiot lights. It seems that this rust removal method works better for some metals than others. I'll let the parts soak for another 48 hours. I went to Wal-Mart, but the only push-on connectors they had were too large (3m brand). I will try a shop that deals with Italian bikes to see what I can find. If someone else knows of a source, please let me know. thanks Hans |
