Title: Steering column wiring plugs for twin stalk column
Post by: snoopy on September 06, 2018, 11:46:40 AM
As above for the later column with a wiper stalk need the plugs and a bit of wire still connected ideally  to make terminal id easier and save testing.

I have a column you can have a look at if you want mate, in back of shed can't remember if it's single or twin stalk though.

Snoopy, can you not just use double ended female spade connectors to connect the column to the loom? I used 3 blocks of 4 of them for mine. It's handy to have the separate circuits split to separate blocks and disconnecting them to remove the column is nice and easy.

Hi Rich thanks but that is an earlier column pre72 or alike where the wire are part of the switch.

Mark I could do but was thinking it is nice to have the correct plugs if possible as plenty of beetles have died and gone to the big scrapyrad in the sky and not been given aa second life as a buggy.

Hardest parts in the world to find. I've got a set I can dig out but would need them replaced?

Thanks for the offer Gary but if I need to find you replacements you had better keep yours.

Must admit I'm keeping the original plugs on my bus too  - going to replace the little 2.8mm female spades and wires though.

may solder some wires on then and put a connector in behind the dash to keep connections to the minimum.

Keith... I have the same issue. Have searched far and wide for the female socket part. (Mine has 10 pins grouped at 6 and 4).  Weird when you look at old scrappers in my area..  The wiring so chopped and bodged that this socket is no longer present. Wires soldered taped together as was my original donor. 

I am looking for female recepticles that would push on to the pins and hoping there will be clearance for heat shrink covering.

Same here a group of 4 & 6 with most identity marks barely visible even using a torch and magnifying glass the 4 are 53 A B C D outside to in, the 6 outer to inner are R, 49-1, L, ?, 8, 31 which helps as Haynes manual is very different on what the identity is.

will need the continuity meter out to find the pins in the circuits R & L makes finding the live easy, horn will be simple and hopefully the wiper with the buggy is suitable for the switch as I found on the GP not all wipers motors are wired the same and are designed for a specific switch.

was wondering about small female spades on with wire then a hot glue gun to mould a block around them .
