Default Delphi Twin Lock Bulk Head Connector Plugs

Guy's I need a little help finding a source for a pair of these bulk head connector plugs for my 66. I have fairly new harnesses throughout the whole car (4 yrs old) so I don't anyone telling me just to go spend another small fortune on new engine-side harnesses. I just need to find a source for these 2 plastic connector plugs so I can replace these.

I know you can buy a bulk head repair kit, and also a fuse panel repair kit from all the Corvette suppliers including Lectric Limited, but those are fine in my car as they came with the new harnesses. I just need a pair of these 2 plastic plugs. Bill

Might want to also post this in the C1/C2 Parts Section as a WTB (Want To Buy)...you might get lucky...

Or else make an offer on these two harnesses:

Ya, I agree those connector plugs would do Frankie, but he's asking a lot because he's selling the whole harness.

ps ... I made him an offer. Bill

If you can get all that for $35-$45 you'd better jump on it...
These connectors aren't growing on trees...and none of the vendors are selling them...

Let us know what he says. Lectric Limited won't even sell the firewall plastic piece as a stand-alone - you have to buy the kit with gasket and pins...

I did connect with Lectric Limited today Frankie. Since I have fairly new engine, front lights & dash harnesses from them ~ 3 yrs ago, they are willing to "fix" my bulkhead connectors if I send my harnesses to them. They charge $70 for the new parts and their time, and then I cover shipping fees to get the repaired harnesses back. Its a reasonable price, but I think they are only doing this if your purchased the wiring from them. Like you said, they won't just sell me the 2 plastic twin lok connectors, but I am pleased they offered a solution.

In the meantime through another member here, he hooked me up with yet another member who had just replaced their front harnesses and saved the old plugs. So he's graciously offered them to me to solve my immediate problem. What a great forum this is! Bill

Bruce (and Frankie), I managed to connect with Spencer at Eagle Wire. Just so you guys know for future, he does have these GM Packard/Delphi twin-lok bulkhead connectors available ... as well as the bulk head piece if you need it. Fyi, Bill

Sadly, as it turns out, those 2 connectors from the old harnesses did not get cut off before they were tossed. So I'm back on the hunt. Worse case, I have 2 good alternatives (albeit not cheap) if I don't find any old ones before I need them in the spring.

If you find you need a few Delphi-Packard pins; I do have extra pins...from the kit shown above. I didn't use any of them...
Thanks for the pin offer Frankie. Mine are all like new, so I'm good at the moment. Sent you a PM on the connector issue. Cheers, Bill
