Not sure whether they are the best, but i bought these ones from ebay....

I soldered these socketed wires to them, heat shrink over the join ....

Screwed them in here, with these tiny screws from tool station ...

Just double check the length before you use them !

I dare say you will find this stuff cheaper somewhere if you dig around

I bought a load off ebay for next to nothing.

Don't use batteries, install NVRAM's and be battery free for life

I have them for most generations of games

Ah I dont have the money at the moment for the NVRAMS, want to get some LEDs this month aswell

as I`m not brave enough for soldering, I`ve used the croc clip type from pinball mania or pinball heaven, and Velcro taped to the sides or the cab

Luke, does the the nvram installation involve soldering or just replacing a socketed chip?

If the chip isn't already socketed yes
