Does that female contact say "AMP" on it? That would be a raging clue.

Sure looks like it.

Here is the 9-pin connector: https://www.vintageconnections.com/products/2-8mm-connectors?variant=46131774095681

The best thing to do is to change out the lights on the circuit to LEDs and derate the fuse to 10A or less. I really don't think that connector was designed for over 10A.

One would think so, however searching through Amp/TE/Tyco I'm not having any luck

Thank you, Steve - those are indeed the ones! Of course, that site doesn't actually tell you the make of the terminals. I don't need the housings. 😄

It's probably safer the way I have it now, through a larger surface area bullet terminal.

With as curious and ingenious as you are, you didn't explore their site?  https://www.vintageconnections.com/products/2-8mm-spade-terminals

That would make sense, wouldn't it? I ordered 50 of each male/female, so I have them.

When I started buying the 6.2mm & 2.8mm connectors, I stocked up on the terminals, too.

What about the size and type of screw that goes through the steering wheel shroud and into the turn signal switch

Probably no use to the OP - these are the 3 types I found on my 280Z. 

4 shroud screws, approx 15mm L

1 M3 x.5 12mm L pan head machine screw into combi switch housing

1 M4 10mm L machine screw into ignition switch housing (didn't bother measuring pitch, it's the same as all the other M4 machine screws on the dash).
