kporter, sorry, i'm not really "schooled" in the lingo just yet. i thought "crimping" was pushing the wires into the socket so that the contacts cut into the wire - but I think "crimping" means putting the metal ends onto the wires.
Anyone know what molex connector I need to use? Or are they just sold by number of pins? Guess i'll get one of those "shover inners" you posted a pic of also (now how's THAT for lingo?).
Man, went to see Star Wars today - NOPE sold out!!!
