Audi Electrical Terminal Assortment Kits

[Alex Kowalski]

I've noticed the same thing, although I have seen terminal assortment kits
for Chrysler and Ford vehicles, but none for Audis, for example:

For small quantities of various terminals, "build your own collection", Radio Shack is still pretty good, esp. if you have one nearby.  For
$50 or $60 you could assemble your own kit that's better suited to what you're doing than some of the generic kits I've seen by 3M, et. al.:

I found an interesting supplier of switches (also solenoids, etc.):

And even more switches.  I was interested in these because in some cases they can be adapted to fix things like stereo pushbuttons:

And an old favorite for electronics miscellania (not necessarily automotive):
