The UK went 12-volt before the US did and wire sizes can be smaller for a lot of items at 12-volt. The terminal blocks used by Ford will only fit one specific sized bullet and they fit tight.
The crimper tool previously linked (hex type crimp die) is very similar to what is used to crimp the small sizes of coaxial cable used in aircraft in this day and age. That size or similar may be available here in the US.

Trust me. it works. It is the same size, that's what I just said earlier. 6V and 12V has little to nothing to do with it. I wouldn't be saying this if I wasn't sure. I'm using those things on my 1947 Ford.
