I really dislike electrical work and finding an easier way to do things is always a plus!!
Hi Cal & Greg. For what it's worth I used suit connectors to attach feeder wires to my track buss. I used 14 gauge for the buss lines and then used 18 gauge to connect the various components to the buss. I guess it may seem obvious, but just make sure you get the right connectors for the wires you plan to use and don't strip the wires! Leave the insulation on. I also found it helpful to use some channel locks to pierce the wire insulation as they seemed to get a nice grip as opposed to some regular pliers. I suppose you could by some crimping pliers, but they are a little expensive.
