Electrical connectors

As in, where's a good place to get them?

Having taken the 404 to pieces to diagnose an intermittent electrical
fault[1], it looks like it's down to a connector that's become badly corroded
after getting a jetwashing. I need to get one of each of the opposite
connector to these ...

.... and stick them on the wiring loom

[1] you'd be amazed at what you have to take off to get at the rectifier.
Like, half the sodding bike

 

Looks like a female spade connector is required.
Any decent motorists center will do outrageously priced pre-packed qty's of
5 in a blister pack for you.

If you're going to rewire then you'll need to beg/borrow/scrounge a crimping
tool to put them on with.

Merv Plastics in Nottingham, if you can find them. I've bought bits from
them in the past and they've been top quality.

I'm not sure if they are still around cos a google search didn't bring
them up.

I've just bought some for my bike. They also have the locking tab so it
doesn't come back out when you pull the connectors apart which I find always
helps.

 

Ooh, ta

 

I should fucking CoCo. I have a long list ready to go!
