Title: Connecting accessory wires - made easy
Post by: gsxbarmy on Saturday, 25 March 2017, 09:09 PM
Came across these recently and are they easy to use or what. Posi-tap. Available in a variety of sizes (red / blue / yellow, same as normal bullet connectors). Tap into the live wire, connect in (up to) 4 accessory wires and that's it. No cutting, soldering, nothing. Not cheap - about £10-£11 for 6 but so easy to use and a good waterproof connection made which is easy to modify / remove if needs be

I get mine from here http://kojaycat.co.uk/ as they have all the sizes (not everything is available on eBay) but there is more choice I think down under

Diagram below shows how they connect. Simples.

They look real handy. I'm gonna get some now. Can use that for tapping the GiPro into the ignition switched feed by the fuse box.

Tempted to get some of the posi-locks to use for the indicators too.

Cheers Barmy.

Not cheap Andrew, but worth it in my opinion for ease for use, size and easy to remove / add items to  :onya:

I've seen posi-locks  (or at least rip offs thereof) fail miserably.  I cant speak for the genuine items, but 'sometimes its best to do it properly not using one of these 'short cut'methods.  Just my opinion.
