Any place, back yard electronic, wiz in the BR area that will do this ?

You can't cut it and crimp the new connectors on?

I can do it for you if you get the parts


Why not just cut connector off and crimp new one on? Would be really easy

Thats the deal, they are not crimps.

You have to heat the wire, solder the wire, put solder down in the hole and then use a press tool to mash the wire down into the connector.

On line they talk about a specific heat and solder or you will melt the plastic fitting...............shite

It is a two wire in one plastic fitting, it cant be crimped.

I think Hobby Towne may have the connectors.

Its a plug in and out fitting, not permanent.

Ok still easy enough. Shoot me an email at cp3tdot@gmail.com.

If you mail me the cable and connector I can knock it out easily.

Are you just replacing the connector on that cable? Or on both the male and female ends?

If you just change the cable connector, but a cable with connector you need, cut connector off with a few inches of wire still connected, cut old connector off, crimp new connector wires to wires of old cable.

It has to be the exact connector because it plugs into a micro jumper.
Connector on one end, jumper cables on other.

I do not have but will find the exact connector that goes into the jumper battery.

This is the wrong fitting for this jumper, I want to replace this blue fitting, EC3.

CP, If I can find the new connector with wires, thats what Ill do, just splice it in.

But that splice connector will add a little resistance, which Id rather not have......

As long as the splice is rated for the correct gauge wire, the added resistance will be negligible
