For everyone else out there,
Jim Carter's set comes with the 2 o-ring "wire looms" for $24.50.
Truckandcarshop don't come with the o-rings and they want $70.00!

Navigating Carter's goofy online catalog is one of my least favorite things to do. But I knew I had seen those wires and it was driving me nuts.
Probably need to buy some myself. Like the look of those metal ends.

Is there any drawback in running with the Carter-type with the naked-metal ends?

Probably need to buy some myself. Like the look of those metal ends. I do owe you big time! I will be ordering directly from the link you provided, as I cannot navigate JC's website. Truckandcarshop's was not much better. As much money as they have tied up in their businesses, I don't understand why they can't pay someone to design a decent site. It is costing them a whole lot of my business. Carl

I think they have fixed their ordering system, which used to crash when you ordered 100 different items (99 was OK - there was a secret two-digit limit).  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 | Navigating Carter's goofy online catalog is one of my least favorite things to do.

I never liked truck and car shops web page for me its easier to pick up the old phone and just call them. Last night when I was looking up the link for you I was on my new computer and the latest and greatest windows 10 the mostly apps version would not let me add things to the cart. I think Microsoft and these websites should have some form of communication. I guess that's a greasy spoon topic.
