[ORRando] seeking spare blade connectors for schmidt generator hub

[Phil Varner]

+1 for Lynne's comment.  When I needed to do this, I bought the
uninsulated connectors (the were the only type available for the size
of the blades) and wrapped around it some "shrink tube" you put heat
to and it shrinks to half the original size, usually sold alongside
the connectors.
