    Spade/bullet connectors

    So I?m in the market for an assortment of electrical connectors. Both Female n male spade and bullet connectors with covers and ring terminals as well. Gonna clean up some of the Harness and wire up the new stator n SH775 R/R. I was looking at cycle terminals.com. I guess I?m looking for some guidance. There are a couple sizes for both spades and bullet 3.5mm or 3.9. Also there?s tin plated and brass options. Not sure which to buy. I picked up a nice Hozan crimper tool.

    who has bought and from where??

    thanks for the space

    OEM is 3.9mm and I've always used the plain bullets and never had a problem.

      I've bought bullet connectors from 4into1.com and eBay before. A proper crimping tool is essential. I usually put a bit of dielectric grease on to protect the connection.

        There's some good information in this thread. The search function is a wonderful tool.

            I went with cycleterminal. Joe was very responsive and knowledgeable. Already shipped out my order. Should be arriving in two or three days. Then I can get to wiring up my Dyna S ignition, new electoSport stator and SH775. Thanks for the input guys

                Thanks for asking about terminals.

                Too many times, people will simply go to Auto Zone and get the cheapest assortment available.

                And congrats on selecting a NICE crimper.

                    I?ll let y?all know when I get the stuff in the mail.

                    i used eastern beaver for my sealed stator connectors
                    really quality product, worth the price point

                    next will be fuse box and relays I think

                    would love to hear suggestions for relays
                    coil and turn signals??
                    also looking to replAce the starter solenoid, but the OEM is pricey

                      You can get one considerably cheaper by going to your favorite auto parts store or big-box store (Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, etc.) and getting one for a lawn tractor. Same size, same capacity, about $15.

                        Found a Briggs part number 5410K
                        4 pole solenoid for $15 at homedepot.com. Other than the physical dimensions, mounting position and used for a 12V system, am I looking for any other specs?

                        seems to be all the information they provide for any


                        thanks
