Hi all,
I need some info on spade terminals. The bike is a 55 plate BMW GS Adventure. I've had problem with the rear light. I decided that the cable running from the fuse box to the rear light had a break near the light itself. I ran a new wire from close to the fuse box to the rear light. Joint between the original wire and the new length soldered and covered with heat shrink. Problem started when I came to connect the new wire to the rear light. The spade terminal I had to hand, from Halfrauds are slightly different to Mr BMW's originals. I can get the Halfords terminal to fit by opening it up slightly with a screwdriver, however I'm not really happy doing this. The query is does anyone know where I can get spade terminals of the same dimensions as the originals? Crimp or solder either will do.
