Does anyone have a source (or a spare cache) for Douglas Connectors? I would like to use them if I can find a inexpensive source.

My fall back is to just use modern weatherpack style connectors.

The Brillman Company, www.brillman.com

Dave, thanks for the link. I tried looking through their website, but can't seem to locate the Douglas connectors they carry.

I did find these in the Restoration Supply Company catalog. I believe they may be similar. But I think the surviving ones on my Packard are spade style instead of bullet style Douglas connectors.

Also on a related topic, what size bullet terminals (female and male) are needed for things like the brake switch, ignition switch, headlamp switch, etc? I want to get all this stuff together so I don't hit any road blocks in rewiring process.

I have a pretty good stock of high quality ring terminals. I just remove the modern plastic portion, and use heat shrink over them to give them a more OEM look.

Kev, there is a lot of stuff in Brillman's hardcopy catalog that may not shop up on their website, so perhaps a call would be appropriate. Don't know about the blade type though.

Sorry, can't help with sizes.

Thank Dave. I will give them a call.

Have you tried Rhode Island Wiring Inc. ? They are good.

If still looking, the modern .156 size is the correct one (at least for 55-6). Y&Z also carries them.
