On the original loom this has a press-on plug. Any idea where i can buy new ones for my new loom? Do they have a name?

Cheers, Chris

Just use a female connection the part a bullet connector fits into and crimp slightly if it feels slack

or a ring terminal and nut/washer.

I've done that in the past, but I'm looking for a 'proper' solution for this job if at all possible. The rest of the loom looks great - it'd be a shame to have this (and the temp guage sender) done with a bodge!

Chris

A ring terminal between two brass nuts and washers is the correct connection for a threaded stud.
If you want a push on connector, get a switch with a spade connector terminal on.

Use a japanese female bullet connector and insulator, I can send you a few if you're stuck....

Use a crimp type bullet female and heat shrink it to make it look original.

Nut and washer would be the best solution technically, but it's a bit out of place in a 'modern' engine bay. I'm liking Pete's solution so far. Question is, where do I buy them?

Chris

Escorts etc used a similar connector on the ignition coil.

This thread has reminded me that the 'start' wire to the starter motor is just a push fit and I have been meaning to replace with a ring terminal and bits as occasionally it refuses to start, until I lift the bonnet and jiggle the connection around.

I already changed the water temp one due to lack of reading.

Chris if possible i would still go along with the ring terminal route but have some heat shrink on the cable, connect up then bend the terminal up, cover with shrink and heat.

Pain to get off I know but less problems

Ring terminal and nuts, and a booty to go over it.
