Title: TERMINAL PROBLEM! Post by: Beckerman67 on 16 August, 2023, 04:53:23 AM YOU KHOW WHEN YOU START A PROJECT THEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY?
WELL, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I DECIDED TO REMOVE MY DUCELLIER ALTERNATOR AND GIVE IT A SPRUCE-UP. THIS WAS DULY COMPLETED AND PUT 'SOMEWHERE SAFE'! I'M NOW ABOUT TO RE-FIT, HOWEVER, THE L-SHAPED MALE SPADE TERMINAL ATTACHED TO THE B+ POST HAS GONE AWOL! THAT'S OK I THOUGHT, I'LL JUST BUY ANOTHER ONE - BIG MISTAKE! IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE WORLD HAS STOPPED MAKING NEARLY EVERY SIZE EXCEPT FOR 6.3MM. THE FEMALE COUNTERPART WOULD SUGGEST I NEED CIRCA 8MM. YES, I KNOW I COULD REPLACE IT WITH A RING TERMINAL BUT THAT'S TOO EASY. CAN ANYBODY HELP? ??? Title: Re: TERMINAL PROBLEM!

Might be worth giving them a ring or emailing with dimensions for the Spade that you need a connector for.
