Electrical equipment - where to buy?

    Hey Guys,

    the wiring loom on my bike is a total mess and I gonna have to repair it from the ground up. So the question is where does one buy/order wires, terminals, connectors etc. I gonna need 1mm^2 or 1.5mm^2 flex thinwall wire in 17 different colors and probably a few other bits and bobs.

    I know I can get the stuff from the Uk or Europe at about 35 Cent per metre but I dont want to wait a week or so for it. Ideally I would like to sort this out over the weekend. So ideally I'd like to buy/order this in Ireland, but I don't want to pay ridiculous money either which unfortunately is still far too common here.

    Anyone know a place?

    I was looking for much the same thing, unfortunately I think your only real option is mail order.
    Unfortunately Ireland is too small to have a decent selection when it comes to this kind of thing, I could be proved wrong, but I just buy this stuff online well before time and keep it until needed.
    If you don't have these links already...

    Louis has good electrical stuff including the hard to get bullet connectors with clear PVC sleeves and Japanese multiplugs OEM style
    VWP in the UK has a decent selection of wire including traced stuff which is difficult to get elsewhere.

    Thanks CJ,

    I have used both suppliers before for various things and I just ordered from VWP for the wires and Louis for the connectors as I need some other thing from them anyways.
    I was hoping though I might get the stuff in before the weekend, but thats not going to happen now. On the upside I'll get exactly what I need in all the right colours etc.
