Mark Gregory Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Does anyone know the supplier/part number for the plastic connector housing attached to the flying lead on the rear light assembly? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 CC can supply them. Just ask parts. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Just use crimpon bullet or spade connectors from the local car accessory shop! Alternatively: what are the drill sizes for (a) a clearance hole and (b) a tapping hole for a 6BA stud? Naah, there are things it's not worth knowing.

Mark Gregory Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Steve Why do I always think the worst? I just assumed I'd have to buy the whole rear light assembly. Perhaps I'm getting too cynical in my old age! I'll contact CC. BOSS Yes, I could use crimp on terminals, it's just that the loom connector/terminals are OK & the terminals on the rear light assy are OK, just the plastic housing missing - bl00dy tyre wall!! As for the drill sizes - don't go there!! Methinks we both have an engineering background - am I right?? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Have a look at http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/. It's worth having one of their catalogs on your shelf. Very good service and good prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Mark, glad to hear there is a sensible reason for wanting the original connector! As for an engineering background, I'm afraid it is still sadder. My dad is a retired craft teacher with an interest in model engineering so from an early age I have been exposed to these sorts of considerations and no stranger to engineering lookup tables for exactly this sort of detail. As a result I have an abnormal fascination in the diversity of threads available and an unceasing wonder that they continue to appear. France, of course, has had an outbreak of common sense in adopting (read inventing) the metric system in all its simplicity at an early stage, but still turns up the occasional 17/32 inch "Newcastle and Sunderland Modified Regular Fine" on old imported stuff.

Mark Gregory Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Alex Thanks for that link, very usefull site, immediately added to favourites. BOSS I followed a more conventional route, apprenticeship & eng degree with good old Morris Motors. I had the dubious honour of seeing the last Morris Minor go down the production line! Some of the track workers were in tears.... At risk of being classed boring, threads can be quite interesting, more to them than meets the eye (literally). As for Metric threads, they have their moments with different pitches for the same diameter. Must dash got to get my car back together for Croix.
