Are these available?
Does anyone know if these clips are available anywhere? From the heater control switch on the 48.

Re: Are these available?
Try an old-time parts store with a variety of suppliers' catalogs. Some are a gold mine of the odd bits a car uses in the odd places. Hopefully they'll pull some of these catalogs out of their racks and let you browse.

If all else fails, you might try a place called "Restoration Supply Company" (https://www.restorationstuff.com/catalog.html). They have all kinds of odd goodies for vintage vehicles.

I saved those connectors when I replaced my heater motor, but that doesn't answer your question. I'd call Kyle ant C&G. |

Roy Nacewicz is the man. Ford bolts.com If he doesn't have it he will tell you where to get them.

Re: Are these available?
Neither Roy Nacewicz or Rhode Island wiring has them. The person I talked to at RIW suggested saving the old connectors as did RKS.PA in his post #6. So that is what I will do.
I have the new heater wire loom but there must have been lots of heater options as they were dealer installed. I googled pictures of 46-48 Fords and went through many where the dashboard was visible. I saw three different control panels in many pictures and none had the two heat switches on the left side of the steering column as mine does. I would like to know just how these were wired. I would appreciate any help on this if others have the same setup as mine. |

Re: Are these available?
On my '47 I too carefully un-soldered mine, bent the crimping tabs open, and reused them. My local Autozone and AdvancedAuto stores sell "AutoCraft" brand packets of crimp n solder style slip-on/in connectors like that. However, if your OE heater switch plate is like mine, it has tabs that grasp the two blades of the connector to hold then in-place. In addition, I soldered that connection anyway. The modern type of slip-in connector probably won't work as well anyway because their metal is thicker.
