updates on my electricals with some advice passed along
Posted by jfb on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 9:32 PM

I have not checked the pricing of spade connectors from atlas walthers etc so bear with me.  I have found that spade connectors from menards are very close size for atlas 205 and 215 selectors just check for the width on the package window. I have used a lot of these from menards that work and are very close to size with a little tweaking but man it has taken some serious time this winter 1 to 3 hrs a day plus 4 to 7 on each day off but the pay off is very near and yes some markings have eroded off on the labels but crossing my fingers i hope it will all be minimal wire tying and re wrapping would be a nightmare to redo. I have a lot of wire harnesses.

Hello all,

You might try reposting this in the Electronics DCC forum!

Hope this helps.
