Default Wire taps....

Anybody know where to get those quick connect wire taps that alarm/stereo shops use? The ones that have a piece that connects onto the existing wire and then you insert a little clip that on the wire for the alarm. I like them a lot better than the ones at Radio Shack.

They're going to be for my a/f, boost, and egt gauges... not a whole lot of current or anything. Anything that would draw larger current would of course be tapped properly to the ignition or battery, and fused.

I just want these for the pillar, so if I need to take off the pillar, I don't have to undo a bunch of Radio Shack's connectors and probably replace them.

Ditto...I used the so called wire taps to hook up my a/f guage, then I ended up soldering the connection instead.
