here ya go Wade. I bought these at Marshall's. I think they are called weatherpack terminals if I am not mistaken. The part number on them won't be Marshall's part number, but should get you in the right direction.

They also carry the plastic and rubber parts, and the removal tool. Just no crimping tool.

They are weather pack connectors, we use them a lot on off road race cars, there's a special tool that you need to crimp the ends before you put it in the housing, and a removal tool also.

i bought 10 from e-bay 2 months ago. I don't have the crimping tool, so I soldered them on. I soldered to 12 gage wire. Was a learning experience. I had a difficult time getting the pin to lock into the housing (maybe too much solder). Eventually I got it to work but if I had to do it again I would try to get the crimping tool. The way I did this was to strip about an 1/8 inch of shielding away. place the wire in the pin with the shield captured by the rear most set of prongs and the exposed wire captured by the next set of prongs. I crimped everything as best I could with the normal solderless crimp tool then soldered the exposed wire to the pin. In general I hate the solderless connections because I feel like they always loosen over time. I'd be interested to know what luck anyone has had with these and special crimping tool and where to get the tool.
