electrical connectors for dimmer switch

[jpellican]

Would anyone have source for the round electrical connectors used on dimmers switchs? I have 1952 B3B I am rewiring.

They should be available as a male crimp on terminal at any automotive supply store. Mike

your local hometown Electronics Store, a family business someone had for a long time like say from the fifties. You'd be suprised what you can find in a store like that. If you are going to use connectors that require a crimping tool (not the soldered type), you really need a "ratcheting" type crimping pliers. Harbor freight has one for $13 (usually they are around $32 or more) that worked well for me. Whatever you use, make sure you try to pull the wire out of the connector with a gentle tug to make sure it's a tight connection.

Bullet connectors are readily available. The hardware store and my napa both had them. If at all possible bring a sample or the piece they are going into as there are multiple diameters.
