Douglass Connectors

I know I have seen it posted in the past on here but couldn't come up with the post. Does anyone know where I can get a crimping tool for the pins on Douglass Connectors?

Thanks

If you're wanting a tool for collecting they come up on e-bay from time to time. If you're looking to make a connection, I solder mine on as I believe it makes a better connection and they are removable should you need to change a wire, etc.

Soldering will work just fine for a show jeep. The reason the military went with crimp connectors was vibration has a tendency to cause soldered leads to break at the point the solder quits in the wire.

John Bizal at Midwest Military has plenty of original in the box GI issue crimpers.

Tha same rule applies to aircraft. Terminal subject to high vibration levels are rarely soldered. Also in mass production I think the soldered joint can be accomplished quicker with less tooling.

Thanks Wes. I had considered the soldering; but for doing it my self I think the crimping would be quicker and a more secure joint.

You need an Ideal Buchanan C-24 crimp tool. A bit pricey, but the mil-spec ones cost even more.....

Midwest Military had them for something like $15 or $20 if I recall correctly.
