fearofweapons Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi, I am about to replaced the indicator/headlight stalk on the SIII. The PO has made some modifications to the wiring and I would like to try to return a few of the wires to a semblance of originality. I need to source a 3 pin - 2 female / 1 male connector to fit the plug in the photos. I have had a look on line but cannot find one, TBH I don't even know what these are called - other than you b*£$!^&d son of a gun when you are struggling to get them undone and then they suddenly 'go' and you slice the back of your hand open on the sharp edge of the dash! So if anyone could point me to a source or tell me the proper name so I could search that would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Individually they're bullet connectors but cast in a block like that I've no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Perhaps easier to just replace them with something else ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I know the problem.. TTBOMK these bullet multi plugs are not available as a "connect to your own wires" option. Hopefully somebody knows better. I solved the problem by using the original connector in the vehicle side and soldered / crimp sleeved it into my own loom so I can use standard stalk in my own loom. But I hope somebody will point us to a place where we can get these connectors as a block... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Autosparks seem to get hold of them to build their new looms, so they must be available somewhere. I've yet to find them tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm sure that if I'd were to order a 1,000 or so, then can be bought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Off the top of my head, without checking, and in no order of priority, I will suggest: VWP Vehicle Wiring Products, AES Automotive Electrical Supplies, Holden, Paul Beck, I think there is also a Vintage Wiring something, but that may be an alternative name for one of those already mentioned. I would also include MG and Triumph, separately, as search terms. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearofweapons Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Thanks everyone for input and suggestions. So Autosparks got back to me saying that the plugs are injection moulded for them in house and the plug can not be bought to sire up at home. They do sell the individual plugs and sockets though so I could make up ends to connect to the one in the picture - which at the moment is looking like the best way forward. cheers, Richard.
