I am sure a good parts guy can sort this out. Start by finding a motor
catalog page (similar to yours) with the right style trim relays and
use the cable from that page. The ones with ring terminals look like
old style Ford/AMC starter solenoids.

This guy has a pretty good assortment of catalogs you can browse

You have been very helpful. When I get right down to it, all I really need
is ten of these: www.musclecarsounds.com/boats/relay6.jpg Still working
with the dealer on this.


If you can figure out who makes the connector body I bet you can get
the spade sockets for it. (I am betting Tyco/AMP)
I would start at Digikey.com but you might have to buy a bunch of them
unless you have something else "electronic" you need. I think they
have a $10 minimum.
I will warn you, Digikey sells all sorts of cool electronic parts so
if you like this kind of stuff your credit card limit may be more
important than the minimum order ;-)
The other thing you need is the right "Amp" style crimper unless you
squeeze them and solder them. Just mashing them with pliers will not
work. These form that "M" fold in the connector.


Those connectors are available at any auto supply store or Marine supply
store. Get the crimper there also. Ancor makes quality crimp terminals
and crimpers as well as marine wire.
