Bullet Connectors

That's it exactly.

I think you'll find that they are difficult to locate. British Wiring has been unable to supply them for a while. If you do find a source, please let me know. (running low on my stash)

FWIW, the difference between these and the bullet connectors is the fit in the ground recepticle. The bullets are a tad loose, but people use them. I've also seen people use the Advance/AutoZone/Pep Boys crimp bullet connectors. IMHO, they don't work particularly well, either.

As per usual, I agree with Doc Entropy - electrical grease (and perhaps some bloodletting while chanting in tongues) is your best defense against poor grounds. Soldering is a good idea as long as you don't let the solder wick 3 inches up the wire......

Hmm... I think Moss P/N 157-107, and Lucas 555910 are the same. The Moss UK catalog, which generally contains actual part numbers, has a listing as 27H6713.

This was helpful.

O.E. P/N: 27H6713
Alternative P/N: 157-107
