The standard for spade connectors is 1/4 in. Ian which you should be able to confirm by measurement.
Vehicle Wiring Products in Ilkeston will have what you need. Simon

I can totally agree with the comments above. However be very wary, just nip in and get what you need, or else if you are like me you'll have a browse through the whole catalogue to see what might come in handy at a later date, then like a child with free range in a sweet shop come out with a big bag of, " Well I didn't know they did those, that will come in handy, ahh I've always needed that. " bits and bobs. That two pound packet of terminals soon multiplies in price. Joking aside, often when looking for a wiring or electrical solution, having a look through such as the above and the RS etc catalogues comes up with a perfect solution.

I will have to wait until I get home for measuring as we are in a green field 200 miles from home with the caravan.
Trying to fix the rear offside fog light I ended up losing the whole light cluster but a bodge has all but reversing and fog working, I wont bother with those until I get home. Thank you for the web link macafee2 |
