Sorry not sure what your name is. I happen to have about 10 sets of the
100A Superior Connectors. Mostly matched sets. Male exposed plug and
female panel mount socket in both red and black. I would be willing to
part with a couple cheap if you were in need. I was saving them in
anticipation of building a patch panel to adjust the ballast on the pig
powered coil I eventually plan on getting around too, someday, maybe.

And then the mating receptacle is another $23 from Allied, so now we are
talking about $43 x 3 = $129 per small coil.  That's half the cost of my
primary copper just for three connectors.  I'm sure some people have
that kind of budget, but I don't.  Maybe I can find some at a surplus
store.  I've seen the larger (100A) versions in small quantities from
time to time at the last remaining local electronics shop, but never the
smaller size, and never in complete matching sets.

I use spaces intended for cargo, such as vans and trucks and car trunks
so that sort of thing doesn't happen.
