Replacement electrical connectors?

I have a bunch of connectors that have the rubber sleeves completely rotted or now missing (I went bowling for trees lol) and at least one that needs the actual connector itself replaced, or for making jumpers for my rear lights to work. Does anyone have any where I can get these? I want OEM style, not the cheap blue parts store stuff. If they aren't available I might just change some of this stuff to MIL aviation parts, which IMHO is far better (and more $$$).

Just for the record, for those of you trying to do everything 'legit', the crimper die set for these connectors is Y627. Of course I'm not sure if I have these or not, I'll have to check when I get back home in a few days.

Question- with type and vintage connector are the wires or connectiors tinned or soldered? On some older MVs the wires were dipped in soldier before the connector was put on and crimped. Some were then soldiered again after crimping.

Cheers Phil

Check eBay
There are usually genuine issue ones listed and cheaper than most other places.

MIL spec is tinned copper core, doesn't matter if its aviation, wheeled, or tracked. Only difference between them will be the insulation rating and type depending on application.
