Hi
I am trying to restore my electrical wire harness, however I can not buy any of these electrical terminals in the United Kingdom.

Would somebody be kind enough and advise me where I can buy this terminals, please?

Thank you

They are just spade male and female terminals? Dime-a-dozen.

Auto parts store, hardware store, or do as I have done, I go to a junkyard and get originals and re-use them.
All of these places carry them in the US, Not sure about the UK.
Nice Corvette,
Kurt

I spoke to Lectric ltd. but they are not interested in selling just the terminals.
I was told to get in touch with a AC Delco dealer and buy the terminals directly.
This is rather dificult as I live in the UK.

Could somebody buy this terminals for me in the US and post them to me?
I will pay back with Pay-pal

I buy those at NAPA auto parts. They usually have them in stock on their electrical rack. If they don't have the particular ones that you want, they can order them.

C3Paul,

Those are Delphi Packard terminals, series 56, I believe. In the UK you may be able to source them from RS electronics. If that doesn't work out, try Waytek in the US www.waytekwire.com. They may ship to the UK, and I know you can purchase small quantities of Packard stuff from them.

Good luck with the harness. Go ahead and PM me with any other questions you may have. My company makes wiring harnesses for a wide range of industries, including automotive.

C3Paul,
If you cannot find these connectors, send me a PM and I will try to get them for you and send them along.
I recognize the connector at the top but I have not seen the other 3 in some time.
Are you looking for exact replacements?
Kurt
