    Cheap and effective addition to your supplies?

    Hi all,
    Whilst watching a YT video of a car build I saw the builder use these as exhaust tailpipe embellished and thought they looked much more effective than the kit parts.
    They are uninsulated wiring ferrules made of copper with a tin plating and gently flared at one end.
    I bought a kit off Ebay containing 600 assorted sizes ranging from 0.5, 0.75, 1.00, 1.5, 2.5, 4.00 and 6.00mm in diameter.
    Best thing was they cost £5.39 delivered.
    Thought it may be of interest to you.

        Looks like they could be useful. First thing I thought when I saw them was “Shell casings”. They’d need an end though.
