Does anyone know where to get some replacements for our tiny dJet connectors? I did some googling with no luck. I'm looking for the female ends to patch some bad wiring, just need the metal pieces.

I found some of the small female spade connectors at a specialty electronics store and Radio Shack.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Special multi-pin connectors? Or just normal spades?

QUOTE(McMark @ Apr 14 2010, 08:22 PM)  The small ones which go to every dJet connection. I just want some fresh metal pieces when I repair some wiring and slide back into the plastic holders. |

Rat Shack and possibly Worldpack distributors will have 1/8" barbed female spade connectors. Those are used in the injector plugs, the plug for the throttle switch, and a number of others.
Well, actually 3mm connectors are used. 1/8" is close but not quite perfect. I think I did get some 3mm ones at a different specialty place whose name now escapes me... The 4-pin connector at the relay board uses 6mm barbed female spade connectors. I got some of those from VDO in a wiring kit or some such. You can get 1/4" ones (close to 6mm but not exact) at Rat Shack and other places. --DD |

You could try Vehicle Wiring Products in the UK.
http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-...oninsblades.php I've ordered from them before. They have a great selection of metric components and shipping was only about $10 from the UK, pretty fast too. |

Good suggestions, I'll try Fry's and the Rat Shack. I was hoping to find some with the little metal strip to clip it back into the socket.
Thanks |

These do have the clip in back. The last time I ordered, they were on back order from Germany. The FI harness also uses other sizes. I got a few of all of the ones they carry to make sure I had some spares.
