Hot Rods Electrical terminals

I'm trying to find a source for vintage round female crimp connectors for components with.190" pins. The standard blue or red modern stuff doesn't stay on, and googling has been fruitless. Thx.

 

Rhodeisland wiring had them ,but I think they are out of business. I would contact other car wiring companies. The ones that I used were bare connectors .
I used heat shrink to finish .

I would be surprised if Brillman Wire didn't have them....I would hunt for you but the internet is slow for me at the moment.....good luck

 

I had to buy some those and found mid ford uses them , but I had to buy a mid ford wiring harness fire wall side How bad do you want them. look on internet

 

Brillman has them, thank you!

 

NAPA has the blue insulated ones in 2 sizes. I sometimes trin the insulation back to get full engagement on the pins.

 

Ace Hardware has ones that will work. American Auto Wire furnish the blue one in their kits that require them.

 

That switch looks almost like the 68 corvette brake or clutch switch..My mind slips me....... BUT i know for a fact it favors the 59-60 Chevy GM tailgate gl*** saftey switch...

 

It's an aftermarket NOS "in the box" Sorensen switch I got from member KB cookout here in the cl***ifieds. He's got lots of them.

 

Ford used the bullet type connectors for years, but they were .150". I bought a bag of 100 each male and female from a company. I will look at the bags for the source and post it.

 

Rear load refuse trucks we sold used a set of L/H & R/H Chevy brake light switches like those for the speed-up. Mounted in a pretty vulnerable location. Made hundreds if not more harnesses for them using the blue terminals.

Sand back the plastic flush with the metal inside and give them a slight squeeze.

Should be no problem with them staying in place in normal automotive application.

I don't like the looks of the blue so I slice the plastic off and cover them with black shrink tube after crimping

Thank you.

 

Just did this on a GM pickup, same type of switch.

 

These are easy switches to use, they never leak, and it is still easy to find quality old stock made in the US parts.

Here is the simple mount on my '35, two machine screws thru the toe board; my '47 is done the same.

 

I used Ford oil pressure terminals on my Panel truck.
