Ah... and its a pain, but the bullet connectors are 3.5mm. Bloody hard to source: if you find them in the UK can you post their address here... I've always had to use the 'States...

Here you go Simon.  Postage steep - if you look on eBay (the second link) you can get a stack and pay no postage - but I didnt need that many!

By crikey Dave,

That's expensive. But honestly, we're stuck between a rock & a hard place. I too figured I could 'crimp' the 3.9mm bullets to fit... but you end up with a naff connection that you just KNOW is gonna fail at the worst time....

I ended up buying a load of 3.5mm's ..  in the realisation that I'm likely to restore another old Honda or two at some point; but in any case appreciate a stock-in-hand.

Nonetheless appreciate the UK address.... & now stored safely away.

Thanks,
Simon

Indeed ... but came to same conclusion .. better with 3.5s.  I'll see what the quaility is like on 10 and then may order a shed load as I can imagine needing a few over the years!
