Hi,

Does anyone know where you get these, they are on every wiring loom end on early looms and possibly/probably later ones too. They are crimped and soldered .
I can't imagine they are not available but just cant seem to find them.
Any help would be great




Cheers

Mark

Many Thanks for that - i guess just not knowing the name of them was the sticking point.

I can finish the loom off now properly.

Yeh Tim, i was fitting the rear lights i restored that came via your good self and remembered all the ends were still not done as they should be on the wiring loom. I looked before when making it but had drawn a blank - was then added to the post Hessish fix list :)

it has been a while since ive taken a look at an original barndoor harness, but i am curious if the ends on your old harness,running to all of its parts, had the ferrules?
i have in my mind that they were only used going into the fuse blocks, and maybe the semaphores also but i cant picture anything else getting them.
all other connections i am picturing just solder dipped.
im pretty sure this is the way post BD is, maybe earlier bd used them throughout? just curious
