Title: Late 90's Electrical Connectors
Post by: tmsmini on November 25, 2019, 11:00:20 AM
Anyone have any idea where these might be found? They are nice as they hold the nut and prevent inadvertent mis-connection.
British Wiring doesn't have them , at least not on the website. I will email them. Not on any UK website or I cannot find them.

Edit:
You may need to verify the thread pattern of the one(s) you are trying to replace and search that site for the matching connectors.

Thank you so much. Alot of the wiring is getting brittle and is failing near the connectors.

Is that just a ground terminal?

Bull Motif has a lot of these odd things....also, Somerford, they have the best catalogs....

Connections on the alternator, you can use plain ring terminals. I will do that until I can get the replacements.
I checked Somerford, they don't list them on the site, but they may have them.

I had three more wires snap due to age and brittleness.
