I found this guys site http://cycleterminal.com/bullet-terminals.html Seems to have a pretty good selection too Do they sell the spades without the crimpers? I bought a set of crimpers a while back that your recommended then... I have used these without problems. As for the spades without crimpers, I'm sure you could find some if you searched more, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/PONFY-Connector-Assortment-Insulating-Electrical Vintage Connections has a lot of bullets, too, and I have plenty in my collection. Keep in mind that what you see at Cycle Terminal and Vintage Connections might have been produced at the same plant as the ones I linked from Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one hole closed but you have to block the reservoir hole too. So we decided to tap it to M5x.8 and put a screw with a little teflon tape Couple comments... First, the Obvious one. That's a master cylinder, not a slave. Second... Be real careful about burrs kicked up into the cylinder bore as a result of the tapping operation. If there's a burr in the area swept by the cup seal, it'll chew it up right quick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share #604 Posted January 16, 2023 I was looking at the engine bay harness. My PO evidently hacked it up. Not surprising since one headlight fuse was melted out of the fuse box. I may need to source one... @SteveJ @Terrapin Z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share #607 Posted January 16, 2023 I'm not up for reinventing the wheel! Maybe I can bribe someone with diet Mountain Dew to unhack my hacked harness... 19 hours ago, Captain Obvious said: Thanks Bud! Yeah, I'm OK, but honestly have been better.

The lingering cough was the worst thing the second time. I probably can't but if I can help some way, let me know. You could act like a "Snow bird" and come hang out in my guest house for awhile.

w3wilkes Posted January 16, 2023 Share #608 Posted January 16, 2023 @PatconI've probably missed it somewhere but are you going for a "total stock" restoration? If not, you only need one headlight fuse for use with @Zs-ondabrain's Headlight relay upgrade that MSA sells. Of course, it will turn out to be the one that is fried in your fusebox.

Patcon Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share #609 Posted January 17, 2023 No, I wont be stock. I have Daves headlight harness somewhere in my shop. Waiting for this car. I didn't know you only needed one functional side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted January 17, 2023 Share #610 Posted January 17, 2023 Here's a thread I started because I did LED headlights without the MSA harness and had to use the anti-flicker module to initially get my lights to work. I then did the MSA harness after researching a little more and finding out how it was actually implemented which then allowed me to remove the anti-flicker module. Thought this thread might help others going LED headlights. The way Datsun powered the 3 prong plug was opposite of the way "Detroit" did it. And I have no clue how Lucas would have done it. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share #611 Posted January 17, 2023 That's ok, Lucas doesn't have any idea how they would do it either 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted January 17, 2023 Share #612 Posted January 17, 2023 Charles, If your fuse box is toast, consider the MSA version with the spade fuses. I installed one with my resto. It was a good match with one exception - they did not have the two large female spade terminals, supplied butt connectors instead. I replaced those with spade terminals to match with the harness.
