Where to find connectors

[68sunlitgold]

Has anyone found a good place to buy the two connectors I have circles around in the picture. One is the basic plug connetor which is used alot on mustangs (I have found similar ones but not exact ones) and the "L" shaped push on connectors like the one on the A/C ciruit breaker.

I saw your post yesterday but can't help you out. My car does not have A/C and I dont recognize the other connector. Hopefully someone else will respond.

Doug, Ford uses a different size bullet connector than can commonly be found, and they don't have any for sale at the parts counter. I've found only two ways to come up with something that works. Either cut connectors off an old wrecking yard harness and solder them in place and cover the joint with heat shrink or buy the standard size connector and modify it. I remove the plastic insulation, carefully work a small screwdriver into the seam of the connector and spread it out till it's the right size and then put heat shrink tubing on it to insulate it again. It's a bit of work and you have to be careful not to stab yourself with the screwdriver but it will work.

rvrtrash is correct. Your best bet is to find a junked harness from the wreckers or a friend and cut off original connectors about 12" long and splice them onto your harness. All the bullet style connectors I have seen on the market are either too small or too big, and still do not look correct.

Try to find a salesman for "Amp speciality", or a company called Terminal Supply in your area. they both sell to industrial accounts and nornally can get or have what you need, and most of their salesmen know their product and will be aware of what you are looking for.

Thanks guys,
I thought about the junk yard thing but thought maybe someone out there had actually found a good source. I will also look up an "Amp Speciality" place like murf suggested...Thanks guys
