Well I know that I saved the wires, I just have completely misplaced them in the year that it has been since the deconstruction. Are they Bullet connectors?

So normal Bullet connectors aren't a very good fit. Does anyone have a pair of these connectors that I could have? I finally have my title issues sorted and I really would like to get my car out on the road!
Thanks guys |

This is why we solder two wires to the switch and call it a day!

You know what, I may just go ahead and do that! I am a huge fan of using uninsulated connectors, soldering the crimped connection and putting heat-shrink over top of that. Soldering the wire straight to the connection would just be skipping a step. I think that if worst comes to worst I should be able to make a bullet connector work.
