Does anyone know if the make wires with the fittings for the new transformers that are longer than the standard ones that come with the transformers.

Thanks,

Kevin

There is no "one size fits all", so I think the previous advice to simply "roll your own" is the only practical solution.  Why limit yourself to what someone else thought was "ideal"?

That sounds good and what I would rather do. I just wasn't sure if you could make those or not. I will head to the local electronics store and pick up my supplies.

Thanks,

Kevin

All you need is a $10 crimping tool and some terminal spade lugs.  Oh, and the wire... Laugh
