    coil connectors

    I have replaced most of the connectors on my bike with new ones from vintage connections. My coil connectors are a different type than the ones they sell. Mine are pictured below:





    Can I replace them with this spade type from vintage connections?

    Sure you can, do you have a good crimper?

      Thanks! Yeah, got the crimper from vintage connections. It works great. Just wanted to be sure that I wouldn't mess something up by changing the connector type.

        solder those connectors as well as crimping, just to make sure of a solid connection

          You would also do well to spray all contacts with Deoxit; there are several variations but I'm finding this to work well.
