Crimp Rings Big Enough For Earth / Ground Bolts?

PostPost by: Stevie-Heathie » Thu Jun 08, 2017 6:05 pm

Hi all

I'm cleaning up my earth (ground) points and I'd like to find some insulated crimp rings like in the picture below that are big enough to fit on the earthing bolts in the boot (trunk) and the engine bay. Can't find any big enough online.

Any ideas?

Best
Steve

you can find different pre-crimped cables there

or a choice of open end terminals there (for soldering or crimping)

I'd suggest checking the dedicated electronics/electrical stores (Google for exact website address):

1. RS components
2. Element14
3 Mouser electronics (if in US)

Tip, measure the core diameter of your cable then find a supplier that gives the internal size of crimp.
Trying to match mm2 size to crimp size is a nightmare, I used this crimp tool, works well.

Yes, you can get 10mm ring crimps.
Try local motor factors if you only want a few.
