    Electrical connectors source

    Just looked at the specs and the pins don't seem to be same size between the gauges. You need to find the size you have and order accordingly. 14 Gauge .116 min .120 max https://www.wbparts.com/rfq/5999-00-057-2929.html 12 Gauge .215 min .221 max...

    I only have 14 ga here so I can't check... maybe the pin and socket size is not the same between 12, 14 and 16 gauge. Maybe someone else can chime in.

    First off are you talking these connectors here? http://www.amerline.com/MSSingleWire.html They have a pin and socket instead of a spade. If you are looking for the ones above...There are a few places out there... I just ordered some form Big Mike's Motor pool .com. You can find them on ebay...

    After the 2nd attempt I got the windshield in... The first try I did it the way I have done that style of glass before. When I got to the top corners the glass and seal was a tad too high and the lip came off the pinch weld and lots of swearing and pissing off my buddy... Take 2 was read the...

    Question about windshield gaskets

    Well Dang... I also bet shipping would be faster than UPSssssllloowww. Are they the style with molded corners? I was looking at "universal" types and found some that may work... but didn't want to take the time to do the try out...

    Question about windshield gaskets

    Tax and shipping was 355 bucks (USD). I got it from SECO... I will not buy from them again. Their website said it was 312 plus shipping but they charged me 318..00 plus tax and shipping. They have an ebay listing for 322.00 plus like 19.00 shipping and tax. I should have just used the old one...

    It's a gamble to buy at auction without inspection. I got mine at the right price. It was about 99% complete... but you never know what the Army dudes will take and cut off the truck. You also cant see all of the rust. Biggest thing it time... I wanted to have this on the road in 2018 but with...

    Question about windshield gaskets

    I went out and spent big bucks on a new windshield gasket. When UPS finally got it here I see it's not the same as the one that was on the windshield. There is no corner molded in to the gasket like the picture below. It looks like the profile is the same just no molded corner. So my question...
