- I bought GXL wire from Wire Barn in Michigan. He has excellent service, and later I found out he has lots of connectors and supplies too.
- I got the Bussmann fuse panel, open and closed-barrel crimp connectors, shrink tubing, and expandable wire loom from Waytek. Good peple to work with, and good quality materials.
- I got 3 pin ceramic headlight connectors from here: https://www.hipoparts.com/ceramic-female-h4-9003-headlight-socket-kit-w-terminals-fits-7-round-lamps/ These were hard to find.
I got 2 and 3 pin lighting connectors from here: http://www.vintageconnections.com/ These are very good quality.
- I got crimp tools from Amazon, as recommended in the tutorial. You can also use them on closed-barrel connectors as well as open-barrel connectors
But the best thing I found was the Wiring Tutorial listed below. It spells EVERYTHING out, including what tools to use. Read it a couple times, it will really help you learn how to make wiring harnesses, especially if you want to install a fuse panel. You can also read what I did for the wiring on my 6x6 Power Wagon at http://www.powerwagonadvertiser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15343&page=7
At first I was unsure about doing my own wiring, but I took my time and it has turned out very well. Good luck and I hope this helps.
