Mike Posted October 2, 2006 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2006 Hey all, Do any of you have a good source for the 10 guage spade connectors under the dash ? I am looking to replace a melted connector and I need to find the male and female spades along with the plastic housings. I am not against going with an aftermarket part, but, I only want the best. The crimp-on cheap-o connectors you can find at the auto parts store won't work for me. I'm thinking about a GM water-tight or equivalent.

a7dz Posted October 2, 2006 Share #6 Posted October 2, 2006 Do you have the special two stage crimper to install those terminals? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21775-10ga-spade-connectors/#findComment-184380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted October 2, 2006 Nope... I may have a source for that, but, the tool is likely $100+ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21775-10ga-spade-connectors/#findComment-184381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Laury Posted October 2, 2006 Share #9 Posted October 2, 2006 Mike, I do alot of business with Eagleday, mainly for the AMP Fastin-Faston connectors and terminals (like the one you're looking at) and the JIS Bullet connectors (Roadster use these by the bucket full). BTW, this 8mm AMP Fastin-Faston (Spade and Recepticle) is the exact replacement for the main power connectors in the 240Z. I also bought the crimper from them for $30 and It works fine Just want to add this warning - the nylon housings for the the 6.3mm connectors are NOT the same as the ones used in the Datsuns. Except for the 3 position one which does work for the headlight harness connections. Oh yea, of course the 1 position also works, but I think the Z uses only 1 of these in the entire car!

Victor Laury Posted October 2, 2006 Share #10 Posted October 2, 2006 If you want to go off-spec for a "Better" connector, I have good things to say about the GM Weather-Pac connectors. They just don't look right in a Datsun is the only draw-back.Oh yea, and they're expensive as hell. another point against Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21775-10ga-spade-connectors/#findComment-184399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
