Title: where can i get a crimping tool for electrical connection
Post by: Rocket Ron on June 28, 2008, 08:11:27 am
Anyone know where I can get a electrical connection crimping tool for the original double tab electrical connection used on a VW that would fold both sets of tabs over at once?

I want to tidy up my original loom but I want to use the original VW style connection not the horrible modern crimp connections with the coloured insulators that you just squeeze to it.

Any help would be great

Really? That's cool! I wanna buy that tool and terminals if they're not too much money. I'd love to replace all of mine, using the factory looking crimp.

Don`t scrimp on them though. Cheap terminals are thin and weak. And you want a crimper with parallel jaws if possible. That way it will crimp evenly.
