1/2 ton WC brake signal lamp switch question

Post by treefarmer104 » Tue May 08, 2018 3:35 pm

Does anyone know what size connectors fit the two male bullet connectors on the brake signal switch on top
of the master cylinder.
All I had at the moment was a 10 gauge AWG connector and that was too small.
I assume that is what is used?
Thanks

have you found a suitable connector? i'm almost at that point in my wiring. i am thinking the ends on the switch are the same as the male bullet connectors used in splices. my plan was to use two of the female bakelite connectors to make the connection. the Tm does not show or list the part details.

Brake Terminals. I used the plastic covered female connectors, stripped off the hard plastic and soldered them on to the wires and covered with shrink wrap. It looks more period than with the blue coating.

I never heard back from anyone, I ended up calling Jens at VPW.
He had the connectors in stock and sent me the two I needed.
Looks like your method works just as well.
Keep up the good work...

If you get a chance, post an image of the connections
