Morning everyone,

Could anyone advise where I could get a connector for the sierra type 9 reverse switch? Female bullet connectors don't fit unfortunately. Rescued attachment reverse switch.JPG

Have you tried the smaller Japanese type bullets?

are these different from the normal red/blue type? Red was too small and blue was too big, with cripping it on not giving a satisfactory connection.

Dunno, I never use the pre insulated ones, I use the ones you crimp or crimp and solder, with a seperate insulator sleeve, just like you see on Jap bike looms.

If you don't get a better offer u2u me your address and I'll send you a couple.

solder the wires on then heat shrink it

the bullet ones DO fit as that is what i used, i used the one that didnt quite fit and forced it open a bit with a cross head screwdriver and forced it on

as ^^^ say, bullet connectors can be made to fit, not ideal but does the job.
