Sorry for the cut and paste, but I am not having any luck on the "other" forum...

Hey Guys,



I am trying to switch my fusible links in my 1st Gen to

the 2nd Gen style as in the How-To Section



Problem is, the 2nd gen fusible link panel has male blade type connectors that appear to be size 8 gauge or larger.



I went to Radio Shack, Hardware stores, Boater's World, and even Home Depot, and the internet tryingto find the right Quick Disconnect Female Terminal. What I am looking for looks like like this one, but I need it even larger.

Again, I am pretty sure I need a size 8 or so to fit in the 2nd Gen fusible Link block.



BTW, the Female spade is the exact same size as the 1st Gen Fusible Link Block Female quick dosconnects.



Any Electronics Guru's know where I can get them at?



Thanks in advance..

I took some advice from the forum here.

I got the yellow, non insulated connectors, and opened them up slightly with a needle nose pliers.



They fit snug and perfect now. I did use solder and heat shrink tubing on all connections, since I lengthened all wires by about 5 inches to better mount the fuse panel.



I should be done by the weekend, working an hour a day or so on it.
