Automotive Wiring Kits , Split Loom , Wire & Fuse Taps

Well about 2 hrs invested on every stinkin' Search Engine on the web. And the only Good Automotive Wiring Kit I could find was @ ...... jcwhitneys

What Gives

I went to countless "YOUR ONLINE SOURCE FOR AUTO WIRING" websites that didnt have crap!

But I was able to get the kit at jcwhitney

1000 piece set with all kinds of stuff Ill throw up a pic of the kit. $29.99

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...002086/c-10101

Thats atleast is a good start... My brother is always Wipeing out my small kits and I never have what I need to do the job right

Another thing I have learned is DO NOT use pliers to crimp the connectors ... I picked up a good wire crimper at sears for like $15 and it makes the crimp with little to no effort and you cannot pul the wire out and it also dont tare up the insulation on the connectors .

I was also after some good split loom I had previously purchaced 50' from genos buy it was black and I want CUMMINS blue so I went on the hunt and I found a close match @ http://www.wiringproducts.com/?target=dept_90.html

Now thats just about as close to CUMMINS blue as you can get ..

I picked up only 10' of each size it will get me started ... around $20 spent there.

What earks me is out of a billion web sites how could there not be 1 site that has all this stuff . the only place I could really find the taps you had to be a dealer just to buy them and the other just sold them in packs that were like $150 and if they did have the taps thats all they had ...So I gave up..... the JC' kit says it has fues taps ...well I'll see what I get.

I still need these things all @ one site I really dont like throwing my CC# around

ATC & ATM fuses and Taps
Wire Taps / Splicers .... NO "T" TAPS there are many other kind and I have heard alot of bad about SCOTCHLOC

Where to you guys get stuff like this on the Web ?? I know geno's has the Add a fuse thingy but its kind of pricy... not just at genos that thing is pricy every where
