Another electrical connection query - clarification needed?

Following on from this thread I have now decided which bits I need.

However, my loathing of vehicle electrics has surfaced. I am reluctant to strip insulation and patch into existing wiring as with my ham fisted approach I could seriously cock things up (technical term used there Wink

). Likewise with using scotchlock connectors has never heard good things about them.

So I was wondering if I could get any 2 into 1 spade connectors? That way can keep existing wiring (always a good thing) and just add extra circuit.

From Vehicle Wiring Products have come across these Stationary Blades SBC 2 into 1. I wondered if this was the correct bit and if my plan sounds sensible.

Thanks in anticipation Thumbs Up

How many of these things do you require? I think that I may have some similar type connectors. I will check when I get home this evening. The type that I think I may have are ''insulated'' piggyback connectors similar to the ''uninsulated'' ones shown 3 items up from the ones you linked to on the VWP site.

May I refer you to this thread that is often ignored.

What, exactly, are you trying to connect into?

Here's one good way of attaching two things to one wire, (not the only way).

Cut the wire.

Attach a single male bullet connector to one cut end.

Attach a twin female bullet connector to the other end.

Attach your new accessory to the other side of the twin bullet.

Piggy-back blade connector on the end of your accessory wire then?:
