Shielding the Strat - source for ring connectors

[robinbowes]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get uninsulated ring connectors, as used in the "Shielding the Strat" instructions here:

I'm in the UK.

Thanks,

R.

Hey there...
I just finished the shielding project you are doing. I too looked for the uninsulated ring terminals and couldn't find one. So I went to the local hardware store and found a box of various size ring connectors and just pulled off the insulation (an example is www.radioshack.com model number 64-3120). I used a small one attached to the 5-way switch mounting screw (instead of the tone pot shaft) for the pickguard ground (Step 13, figure 2a) and a larger one for the star ground (Step 14, figure 2c) and it works fine.


Hope this helps
