I dont have any. I didnt think ahead enough to do so. My instagram has bits and chunks of everything though.

I had cables made @ NAPA when I did the under hood clean-up for my nephews El Camino.

They were planning to charge me a fee for the Neanderthal assembly until I balked. I know I would have done a cleaner appearing 'crimp' than what they did.
Would be nice to have something in my box for future use that isn't too hard on the 'limited-use' tool budget.
BFH. It was $15-20 bucks on Amazon. Totally worth is just on the drive to the store and first use alone.
