You might be the only other guy I know that does flag terms. 

Bet Squonky does too.

Not sure I knew those existed until now.

It would be some handy behind a gas tank on the ignition switch of a C series or older stuff

There’s a fair amount of older stuff out there that has this.  The big problem with these was usually water and elements penetration at the crimp.  With the sealed shrink wrap and the connector packed with di-electric grease, that should no longer be an issue.

Agreed. 

That's how I build all my own harnesses too. Nice to see somebody doing it right.  

 

I hear @WHX?? Has a good quality love-hate relationship with Scotchlocs.

Delphi Packard 56 terminals will make a superior connection and are worth the extra expense on anything you plan to keep.  

  They also fit into the terminal blocks  used

100% agreed.  I use them in original restorations only or where that’s all that will work.  I prefer Deutsch connectors as they are weather tight and heavy duty.

@Bow_Extreme  can appreciate the original concept ,  also the shrink wrapping  , very efficient  , where I  would draw the line is wiring layout , avoid  tight binding areas ,  keep hot spots in an air flow area , increase , verify , grounding thru the battery cable ground bolt point , add on bolt electrical lugs , to connection areas . just a suggestion / opportunity , pete

When ever I'm over to Jim's, I like to dig through his connector bin & throw away any Scotch locks that I find.

Deutsch connector!!! Far superior to any factory plug that used.

@Bow_Extreme  also use these , peel and stick , really  stick to clean paint ,https://www.amazon.com/Kontrol-Adhesive-Multi-Purpose-Mounting-Management/dp/B079G711XN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?   or use the screw hole .  relieve any wire stress  or  chafing spots , also use cable wrap , might find them at a local  electronic shop , pete

I have a couple large bags of these. 

[WHX?? 50,940]

Guessing thats the crimper I need for these? For repairing the connectors on the horse hauler fuel station that got ripped out when a tire blew.

I was going to solder them on but wouldn't be beyond having a set. 

 

What kind of power/ampss can Deutch connectors handle.?

 

Looks like we have the same strippers Matt. These do work really slick.

Actually you need this style for those ends.

https://www.amazon.com/TUBTAP-Crimping-Connectors-0-5-1-5mm²-Terminal/dp/B09GYFKT6F

 

One of these will do the trick as well.

I have this style if you need to borrow them.
