Hi
Can someone please give me some advice on the correct size of the old type spade connectors and plastic sleeves fitted to the coils on my commando, I am about to order some connectors, ie bullets - ring that fixes to the inside of z plate behind zener diode, but not sure of size. Would like to avoid the new crimp on type.

Thanks NEIL

I use the spades with separate insulation sleeves as sold by VWP.

Also VWP ring terminals:

4.7mm Bullets & connectors:

You need the correct crimping tool for each type:

Or try www.autosparks.co.uk they are better quality, cheap postage and maybe even cheaper overall.

I have a similar problem with some bad bullet connectors connecting to the tail light. I would rather fix the broke connector than replace the whole thing. Does anyone know the specs and whether this can be obtained in the US?
