nang Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd like to know too!!!! just broke one of mine but was able to solder a bit of cable on the end as a temporary measure. It works but would still like to replace.Will talk to our auto sparky next week.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You mean the connectors of the cable that runs in the gear lever ? And the connectors at the end of that cable to the wiring loom ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Fawlty Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 They look like male bullet connectorsFor the cost of the bits Paddocks is the best optionA pack of connectors will probably be £3.50 plus £10 worth of tools and hassle http://cdn3.volusion.com/ohrdx.wqydt/v/vspfiles/photos/1550-2.jpg?1394431157Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensH Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 @Baz: I suppose, its the very thin connectors used at the gear knob switch - there was a thread some months ago with a link - but can't find it now.I ended up soldering it to the switch + using some shrink tubing.

stoketriumph Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Not sure what size they were but I used the smallest Lucar connectors which I think are normally used for loudspeakers. They push on nicely and have worked for a few years.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm pretty sure the smallest lucars are what the brothers' cable has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rychu Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Decided just to by the complete cable assy. Delivered for <£10 so not too bad.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Bill at Rarebits does a nice harness with correct connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The original connectors are round in section, however, I've managed to use the smallest lucar spade connectors often used for speaker connections before which work great if you use the uninsulated version and then insulate using heat shrink after crimping.Here are some on ebay:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25x-2-8mm-Crimp-Terminal-Female-Spade-Connector-uninsulated-/230877081401?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35c158af39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
