Maybe bit obvious but have you tried RS components?

Hi Dave,

Also tried Farnell (uk.farnell.com) who sell every component known and nothing looks like that.
No idea what the diagonal cut-out slot is for, but aren't these just joining two bits of wire together? Modern good quality ones (like from RS) are going to be more reliable anyway - unless its that 100-point concours prize you want...

Dave the cut out on the side locks it into the connector block,its to rewire the engine bay so they have to fit the bulkhead connectors.

Heres the nearest I can find -

$3 for 10, Says they are GM though!

Packard Electric Division of GM ?56 series? terminals are used throughout wiring systems in many years of GM cars and trucks. These terminals can replace corroded or damaged

# 10-56F
Female
10 qty.
$ 2.99

# 50-56F
Female
50 qty.
$ 11.99

# 10-56M
Male
10 qty.
$ 2.99

# 50-56M
Male
50 qty.
$ 11.99

These 56 SERIES terminals are a must for working with GM wiring from the Muscle Car period (and later too). The terminals are inserted into ?connector bodies? where wires connect to electrical system parts. They are found at switches, voltage regulators, alternators, firewall bulkhead connectors, and wire harness connectors. (1/4? wide, brass)

Yeah the 'Packard' ones are the correct Mopar ones. You can also get them at Napa stores if you are over in the US in person. "Type 56" identifies them correctly.
