Double check but, I believe this is your huckleberry:

And for a tool, I use http://www.ebay.com/itm/PA-20-Crimp-too ... 0641824592
Purple = sarcasm

Please do a board search before posting your question, many have been answered with very time consuming detail already.

I got my crimp connector from Amazon - here http://www.amazon.com/HT-225D-Cycle-Rat ... B007JLN93S - it worked PERFECTLY
(First time I built a RepRap i tried to crimp by hand with pliers and whatever universal crimpl tool i had. Needless to say I fried 2 control boards - THIS time around I did it right - still have a few extras left over).

I suggest contacting support - maybe they have extra's to send.
