Good source for OEM crimp terminals?

Something like this kit, German Supply - Parts for VolkswagenŽ Cars - Terminal Assortment Kit - OE Type Crimped Connections , but maybe cheaper and without shipping charges from Canada?

Nice yellow cad plated etc.

Desc.
Terminal Assortment - contains either 5x or 10x each of all the most common OE type open barrel terminals. Contains .250" and .110" male and female terminals with and without locking tab, and 2 sizes of ring terminals. Lock tab terminals are used inside plastic terminal housings. Supplied in several wire sizes. Using these terminals will give your vehicle wiring a professional look and function. Crimped terminals are stronger and better conducting than any other type, which is why they are used by the factory. Contains 100 terminals. $35 USD plus likely crazy shipping.

This is what I used when I refurbed my electric board, was very pleased with the results. I think if I recall, it came to about 15$ shipping (100 after kit + crimper + shipping). Took about 2 weeks to get here and a couple of phone calls for status but I eventually got it.

I've got more crimpers than a weave salon, and those terminal look factory, but I figure there has to be a better source.

OTOH I don't want to spend 100 years looking to save $50.

Why are these terminals so hard to find locally? I bought some from the UK awhile back, but there must be someone in the US who carries them?

Most of what I find is the US is tin or zinc, Cadmium plating seems to be a Euro thing, but also these are not generic terminal, I believe they fit in our CE panel relay sockets.

Main issue I suspect is that this type of terminal is normally sold in huge quantities only to OEM, its not a consumer product. This is true of all the connectors in our cars I have looked at so far, cheap to big industrial users, no cheap sources for quantity less than 500.

Eagle Day , PORSCHE, BMW, MERCEDES, AERO KITS, APPAREL, ACCESSORIES, PERFORMANCE has the amp connectors used in the bosch stuff, but not the CE panel type.

I stumbled across the exact same male and female terminals as found in our CE panels at work awhile ago, but on one can tell me where they came from. Bummer. They must have been stocked at some point but I don't know who. Maybe they were a Wurth product?

What about a suitable high quality open-barrel crimping tool? I have a cheap one that is absolutely useless, I would love to find one of those ratcheting types that does multiple sizes and isn't made in China...

EDIT: Found the terminals at Eagle Day http://www.eagleday.com/6-3mm-blade-connector-w-latch.html

EDIT: Found the terminals at Eagle Day 6.3mm Blade connector w/latch
6.3mm blade connectors w/latch
Female or Male blades with latch, fits into mouldings. Both fit cables 1-2.5mm2 or 2.5-6mm2. Sold in packs of ten.


VWP-FMBL$4.95

Look about the same, but not cad to match factory. More a different, not better option IMHO, $20 plus shipping for 10 each of male/female both sizes, vs $35 plus slightly more shipping for 100, 10 each of 10 kinds in yellow cad.

Without the part in hand, or knowing the brand/part etc its hard for me to guess which is the best or correct crimp tool, but something like this is likely.





Another place with crimps and crimpers Tools

I've been saying cad, but I think the yellow terminals are BRASS.

My ratchet crimper is from HF, but honestly haven't used it much, but it gets ok reviews.
