I'm rebuilding my alternator harness and having a heck of a time finding the rubber cap for the ring connector on the alternator end of the 10 gauge wire. PET lists the part number for the starter protection cap (999.659.006.50) but I have one in hand and it is a different animal. Made a couple failed attempts to order suitable replacements on ebay but descriptions are lacking. Here's the dude I'm after, any help appreciated.

914 Rubber. Stoddard sells a package of small boots with that one.

Woohoo! I always try 914rubber first but only found complete harnesses there. The Stoddard tip was the trick. Found the boot kits; from there I was able to find the individual boot. It's a 356 part (part# 616.109.381.00). With part number in hand, I was able to find it at all the usual suspects. Ordering some from Pelican.

You have no idea how much time I've wasted on Google trying to find these. I have all the other bits needed to build my own harness but that. Thanks!

I JUST found that in the garage and ran back to the house to post it. lol

Ask for Paul Domitrovic if you call them. Great guy I've been doing business with for longer than I can remember.

You da man! I wasn't planning to get the clips but, dang you, you got me again!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 31 2018, 07:31 PM

Pretty sure the clips are not commercially available. We looked high and low before we made them.
