Default Help with connectors?

Hi,
I am looking for a UK stockist of TQ Wire gold 4mm connectors, like these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3308656971...=p5197.c0.m619

I specifically need the 14mm length (+/- 1mm) so that they fully seat into my lipos and I need the top part to be as low profile as possible to fit under a top deck.
Most similar connectors I can find in the UK are longer (around 16mm)
I'd like to get them in the UK as I need them quickly.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Thanks.

You can file down the tops of the Corally connectors, I had to do the same for a tall Lipo. Apex, Demon all sell them

Thanks for the reply.
I know I can modify some, but I'd rather not and since the perfect item is available in the US, I suspect they might also be available over here somewhere.

I have some Demon ones but they are also too long for the connector tubes in my lipos (most seem to be 16mm + long). These don't insert all the way down, so I would also have to shorten the bottom of the connectors too, which doesn't feel great.

So still looking for 14mm long low profile connectors in the UK, anybody?

I think number5rc was looking at getting the vampire version in.

I think this is as close as you will find in the UK but you would have to cut off 2mm.

These look like they should do the job...

I have both Demon and Trinity. 15mm and 16mm respectively. (Excluding top)

What LiPos are you using. (ThunderPowers/LRPs accept 16mm?)
