not as good as the decent ones, but easier than faffing around with pliers!

What tool crimps these junior terminals
View attachment 58019

Arrrg, a photo leecher... anywho, I'll be nice this time and not put up gay pron and actually take the time to give you a correct answer even though this is some mighty Fiat forum and not an asslickers Volkswagen forum...

The crimpers that others have shown are NOT the correct type of crimpers for timers like the one shown. They are showing you the kind for the cheap barrel crimps that you find at any automotive supply shop.

I use this kit:

amazon.com/Tool-Aid-18920-Ratcheting-Terminal/dp/B0002STTTI


This kit has a set of dies with it that will work, to a point. There are several different sized dies at the OEM level since there are different sized wires, I suspect at the OEM level, each wire size has it's own die, where as this kit the dies work a range of wire sizes.

No clue where you guys are, I'm guessing not here in the United Stated of Awsome America, but surely you would be able to find that same kit in your country.

If you've got a source of the bare terminals at a good price, then you've got a major leg up on my, sooner find priceless diamonds in my back yard than affordable bare terminals here.

Hope this pointless rambling (but useful info) is put to good use.

Ta for the previous edit custard.

Anyone found 501' White LEDs that look white?
I have some and outside my light they look white, inside they look slightly blue. Making me look like a chav and or the fuzz.

I wonder if they are better than the standard LED 501s that flicker and die when they get too hot? :chin:

 

[dave]

yeah they excelent, i had 4x led ones before these an these look loads better

 

[Helz]

Yes but did they live forever sat inches from a normal halogen bulb?

 

[dave]

one died an they said send it back an get a new one straight away. not sure if heat killed it or if it was just duff though

 

[JFL]

[craigb244]
