Hi my name is Scott new to this forum. Not new to spudding. I was looking around and looking for some info on using some sort of cables to make ignition an fan connections. Does anyone know what kind of cables could be used. Looking to get away from crappy wires and I think some sort of cable with a bus connector would be cool. Any info would be great, and by the way there is some nice work being done here.

Homedepot, lowes, radioshack, and sometimes walmart has them.
Those are ring terminals.

For mating parts, fast on's:

How many wirs do you need to conect? Have you considered any plugs like those that are used on trucks for trailer lights or those used on boats for trolling motors?
