 |

So, I am replacing the original 6V regulator. The original has screw down connections. My new 6V unit has the large Spade connector ends, and my harness obviously does not. Searching only turns up the small spade connectors. What are my options. Does anyone have a source? Or should try to find one off a parted out vehicle, Then splice. (I really would prefer not splice, but replace.

| Look at McMaster-Carr hardware site. They should have exactly what you need if you can't find locally. |

Unfortunately no, They have smaller size 1/8 inch and up to 1/4 inch, but not the ~3/8's inch size.
