GM column connector terminals

[Happydaze]

I'm looking for a few of theses babies and wonder if anyone has any lying around or could point me in the direction of a supplier. I've looked around and can only find $50++++ kits in the US. They're standard GM items for the indicators etc. Bit crazy as I really only need one (for now, but could probably use 3) and could make alternative arrangements with a Superseal or similar connector if needs be, but not as neat and consistent with the existing.

Here's some pics. I need the female end as shown, but unused obviously They're! They're about an inch long overall. The pic with the terminal block shows them installed with a couple of the male blades which are 0.15" wide, just under 4mm.

I'm hoping some kind soul has a bunch of them in their stash that they didn't use when installing a wiring kit. Fingers crossed!!

Edit. I forgot to mention, I found an incredible uk source of electrical bits, fancy grommets, connectors galore, automotiveconnectors.com, but you guessed it, they don't list em. Scrolled through over 400 connectors to not find them!!

I’ve got these if they are any good?

Thanks Steve, look promising as the style looks correct but the retaining mechanism is different so they wouldn't engage in the housing properly, but mucho thanks anyway!

Still looking then! Whatcha got?

Well, there's a couple of hours I'll never see again! And my eyes are sore too, so hopefully the same won't apply! I narrowed if down using the search facility to just terminals, so only 35k odd. The nearest thing I could see (sic) were (blade) fuse contacts, which makes sense seeing how they work I an inserted single blade. Will try calling them tomorrow. Probably have to buy 100 minimum and I suspect minimum order charges could apply, neither of which is particularly a problem as long as they're the right things. So I'm not holding out a lot of hope, but thanks for the link!

Can we take it that I'm still looking then?

Hi Chris you tried 12 volt planet ?

[Happydaze]

Errmmmm..... no! Most embarrassing as that's my electrical go to place, but I've been at AES too lately as they have cloth covered wire.

Order placed!!! Thanks for the heads up!!

Bit late now but I have a few spares in my Painless kit you could have had.

[Happydaze]

Never too late Mark! The 12v Planet items look promising but they aren't exact so who knows how they'll work out. At £2 for 10 I'm happy to take a punt! Needed some more electrical swag so postage is absorbed with other stuff. Dunno about you but I find I'm buying heaps of additional stuff even when starting with a seemingly comprehensive kit.

If you need them give me a shout.
Not sure how many are in there - less than 10 I think.

[Happydaze]

Huge thanks. Let's see what the postie brings, I expect after Christmas now. Its not going to hold me up though as I have plenty to do!!

Well the postie did his thing today, quite impressed with the service considering the time off year and the shenanigans lately.

Anyway, here's what arrived, pictured against the sample I have. Very similar inmost respects but just a little heavy on the depth ( pic with spanner) so it won't fit into socket. I've looked at having a little off but it looks like the retention bits will be lost.

So it looks like I'll be messaging Blackpop!

Chris,

This is what I have, check size and if they are ok I'll pop them in the post.

[Happydaze]

Mark, I think we have the makings of a DNA match! The 20mm dim checks out. The locating lugs on the sides look to be identical,angles, lengths, positioning. How about the depth?
I'm excited!!
Cheers

Looks a good match, I have fractionally over 1/8" so 3 4mm is about right.

Chris,
I still cant access any PM's as this stupid forum wont allow it but I did see your address on my phone as a notification so the clips are on their way to you.

[Happydaze]

I'm sorted now thanks to the generosity of Blackpop Mark.

Mark, I've only just seen your last post above which looks to be an edit of another and thus have only just become aware that your pm's aren't working, having just sent you another! Check notifications on phone then! Ha! It just said thanks and I owe you something, favour, beer, both!

No problem Chris - this forum is very backward
