Beefy,
What a kind and generous individual you are. What a deal! C:P I have been looking for some swamp land in Florida. Can you hook me up?
Dancoig,
As a suggestion try your local Radio Shack. They will not have the connector that Eric made, but they show them the service port and they will come up with something that does the job quick and easy. When I had a fuel gauge on an old jeep (very hard to find NOS parts), I did not know a resistor from a capacitor. When I told the guy I need to increase the resistance in a dead wire by a certain ohm level, it took him about 5 minutes to set me up with a few penny parts to solder together. Job done!
As for me, I will stick with the thin gauge hobby wire. I might go fancy and put a flat blade male connector on it someday. Paper clips have not worked so well for me.
