Where Molex or Hitachi Connectors?

FuelCell · 07-02-2010, 09:36 PM

Whoever had the 2'fitty before me wasn't afraid to twist wires together to make electrical connections. I need some connectors, such as 2 to 4 pin Molex or Hitachi (found on every Japanese bike) connectors and silicone shielded bullet connectors (also found on every Japanese bike).

RadioShack doesn't have them (big surprise). Where in our fair (and fairly large) city can I buy everything?

You might try Shucks or Autozone. They may not be the exact connector your looking for, but they usually have a variaty of automotive conectors. Unless your specifically looking for oem, a two/four pin connector is a two/four pin connector. Better than twisting or soldering wires together.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need new, uncrimped connectors. They don't have to be OEM, just professional-looking and unified to everything can be modular.

The bullet connectors confuse me the most. For something that is such an industry standard (go look at your turn signals) why are they so impossible to find?

Just solder the wires together and use some heat shrink tubing. It will be much cheaper in the long run and do the same thing. If not look online as there are a few places that will make the Molex plugs for you but if I recall correctly they weren't cheap unless you bought a bunch of the same style.
