Crimper ?

I'm going to replace all the electrical connectors on my M101A2 because all the rubber boots are rotted and I purchased a round 7 pin connector with 8ft cable that I will put in place of the original plug. I found the exact same connectors at Midwest Jeep but I'm not familiar with the type of crimping plires needed to make the connections. Anybody have an idea what they are and where to get them?

I read these threads.
I asked at rallies.
I asked a swap meets.
I asked friends.
I got alot of shoulder shrugs and very few answers.
I ended up using a good quality crimper from Klein tools. It worked great.
(the type with a cutter on the end and a crimper for insulated and one for bare)

I use the Daniels Machine AF-8. Couldn't be happier. It crimps in 4 spots and doesn't distort the connector at all.

Ah, grasshopper, hone your search karma and the information Gods will open the skies with learnage and data and facts.

Read and bask in the holy light of previous posted knowledge! :D
What a dork.



Nick, I think I have the correct crimper.
