Hi all,
I got a new wiring harness, but it doesnt have the plastic connectors..the guy said to just reuse them. Seeing as I dont have much of my wiring harness left, I only have a grand total of 3 connectors out of god knows how many I need. I was thinking of looking in like Digi-Key's catalog for a same kind of connector and use that, but I have no idea what you call these things!
Any idea what you call them?They look like butt connectors, but not sure. Thanks! _________________ Bob Collins

Some folks call them Bullet Connectors, some folks call them Sleeves but the manufacturer and the Army call them a connector and that's what you need to call them when you order them.
Bob did you find some of those connectors yet? I believe I got some from MidWestMilitary.

Hi Ken, I've found some of my old ones - which is good. Gonna email DigiKey tommorrow with a diagram with some sizes and see if they got anything remotely simular. I can't imagine they dont have soemthing that will function the same -- their catalog is ginormous. _________________ Bob Collins

You are probably going to have to get tehm from Midwest Military or another supplier... I got mine from Vintage Wiring of Maine for $1.35 each... I needed all of them for my M-38 (35 total)... but well worth the expense...
I understand that these are not made anymore... VWOM said he tried to get some made but the cost was $4.00 each if made. He said it was not worth the cost...
The entire connector is sold on eBayin lots of 5. Both doubles and singles.
