Default Source for servo connectors

I am looking for a source for Futaba style servo connectors so I can make custom servo leads and avoid the extra connector when using an extension. Dymond RC was a source at one time but they seem to have dropped off the surface of the earth.

That crimper tool from MPI is a must-have, and their prices are really good, too.

Tower also has them as I just bought some from them about 2 months ago.

These folks are easy to do business with. Fast and reliable in my experience. Nice gear, also:

If you are just extending the lead length on a servo, why use another connector? Just cut the existing cable in two and splice in the necessary extension length. No new connectors are then required.

Maybe I'm fussy. I have been in the electronics business all my working life and splicing wirwes was never an "elegant" fix to short wires.
