Hi I need to makeup a couple of small multi wiring harnesses for my car but am unable to find where I can order new wire ends for them. I list a picture showing (not to well I'm afraid) the connecter ends that I am talking about.
Thanks for any advice.

While you have an R170, this discussion could well be of general interest across all three ranges, however, before we progress, can you give us a little more information about what these looms are for and what they are connecting to?

Typically, when terminating cables, you'd look at a crimp solution, but then again, we'd need to know what insulation is required, what the current handling of the cable needs to be, any heat/environment issues (like if the loom runs underneath the car, or near an exhaust) and so forth.

Can you give any more background info?

Thanks for your rely. I realize that the picture I sent was not the best but stay with me and I'll try again (lol) I am having problems with some of the wiring on this car and instead of cutting out the bad lengths and soldering in a new piece I'd like to build a complete new harness with the correct wire diameter and the correct metal ends. It's the metal end pieces I cant seem to find. I'm sure I have seen a box of them someplace on line with different sizes but can't find it again. They crimp around the wire. It's not the plug ends I need it's just the wire ends. Once again any hell would be great.
