Ring Terminals.... where do you guys get them?

I'm looking to buy a whole whack load of ring terminals (20-30 minimum)... so I'm wondering where you guys get them.

They don't have to be fancy gold plated ones from Stinger or anything like that. Cheap and able to hold 1/0 is all I'm looking for.

I've found a pack of 20 on eBay for $12 but shipping is $20.

(yes, Princess auto has them but at $1.50-$2.00 each it can be a bit pricey for the quantity I want)

So does anyone else know of somewhere cheaper?

I would always buy mine from NAPA...I think they are more expensive than that though I can't remember but I don't remember them being cheap. They were nice and thick hammer on style though

I bought mine off ebay and I think I bought a lot of 20 last time. Shipping was a lot cheaper than that though. I think if you check different auctions from that same seller you will different shipping prices for the same items. I got the cheapest shipping price I could find and they still got here quick. Shipping was under $10.00

This was after I wasted a day off work driving around looking for some locally whick I never found. Never again.

Jordy i dont know if you guys have PartSource there but you can go there and get some 4/0 terminals. A single 4/0 terminals from PartSource will perfectly fit a pair of 1/0 wires. They cost about the same as the 1/0 terminals but this way you only need half the amount. This is what i do, saves you money and you dont have to wait for shipping from US.

damn... you mentioned that a few months ago but I had completely forgotten. Thanks for the tip man. I'll see if I can find them.

If not.. I may just ask you to ship me some
