Brief Description:  More crimping pins for Molex connectors.

While waiting for more wire to arrive from SteinAir and B&C, I have crimped the switch to fuselage connector wires. All power wires are 18AWG with only the strobe wires shielded. The Aveo 6 in 1 will have sync wires for the strobes and wigwag which are just signal wires. I'll use 22/20AWG for these wires. These Molex 150L connectors will accept 22-18AWG wires.

I had to make a small adapter for my Ideal Stripmater stripper tool to connect the wire depth guide that was shipped to me without the adapter. I drilled a 0.20" length piece of a #4 size brad and then tapped it to 40 threads per inch. Needless to say it was hard to handle but it worked. Now I can set the strip length instead of eyeballing. Actually eyeballing works great after you calibrate your eyeball, but for these pins one must strip perfectly.
