Wire Terminations - Where to Get Them

My '79 SC is in paint (yes, I am super excited!!). Yesterday the painter sent me a picture of the headlight connector (see below) letting me know the wire connections are not in great shape. Of course I would like to correct this, especially considering the current draw of the headlights.
I was able to find the plastic plug here on Pelican. However, I also need to replace the metal terminals at the end of the wire, which are inside the plastic plug housing. These I cannot find. I assume they are considered to be part of the wiring harness and not sold as pieces and therefore not found in the parts catalog.

Does anyone have any thoughts on sourcing these wire termination connections? I don't want to use standard crimp terminals since I need them to fit into the plastic plug.

Thanks,
Keith

Keith , you can buy the connector with the plug on Ebay ... i purchased ceramic connectors , they come with six inches of wiring that you can splice in.
That looks like a fire hazard waiting to happen ...

Cheers
Phil

There's a supplier for these and the terminals called Eagle Day, if you google eagle day electrical.

They have a focus on 944 terminals and connectors but I think they have the headlight connector as well, they definitely have the metal terminals and tools for them as well.
