FC fusebox....where to get terminals?

Got an FC fusebox to deem my fusible links moot. Only problem is the elecrical terminals on the bottom. Where did you guys get the female ends for those? They're like speaker terminals, but wider. I've searched all over, but I might be using the wrong terminology. Local auto parts were no help either.

I opened up slightly with needle nose pliers, and then re-clamped them.

I managed to find some uninsulated terminals that are the right width. I had to grind the length down a bit but they fit straight into the stock FC fusebox plugs. You just have to pry the old terminals out of the plugs with a small screwdriver which can be a pain in the *** but at least it looks factory.

Hmm...I'll have to look for that. Nobody has found a source for unused ones?

I tried the ghetto-rigged method with smaller ones, but it didn't work too well :laugh:

I used 3/8" female spade terminals from autozone (for 10-12 ga wire, I think). They are a little big, but they to the job. There is also a ring terminal for connecting the alt/batt to the center of the box. I believe that one was a 5/16" ring terminal.

Good luck.

The ones I'm using are brand spankin new. You can either fit them into the FC plugs for a factory look or directly onto the fusebox.
