WTB: Douglass connectors and related parts

Post by dlevy » Sun Feb 04, 2018 6:52 pm

Hi,

Where can one buy the repro metal shell Douglass connectors, rubber grommet, ring bushing, bullet terminal?

And also the correct wire and tool to crimp the bullet terminals in place.

Looking where I can buy them in bulk not from a vendor who makes the harness to sell.

Thanks,
Dave

I get them from Vintage Power wagons; they sell kits of ten of them, complete.
I do not know who the actual manufacturer is.

Buying the ten piece kit from Vintage is cheaper than those sites.
I just got one; it has ten connections, both sides, male and female, shells and all, for $40.

Thanks. I bought a couple sets from Vintage Powerwagons.

Anyone know the correct crimp tool for the terminals? There has been a lot of talk about Daniel Manufacturing Company, but they make a whole bunch of different crimp tools.

the best crimpers I have found are the douglas crimper #5120-00-251-3990, and the buchanan C-24. Both can be found on the internet and eBay. The buchanan 24 is usually cheaper as it isn't "Military" I have used both and have found the buchanan a better handling tool for the job in my opinion

I got one off fleabay that was advertised as a wire cutter, but there are usually plenty on there.
