Where to find slave cable lug?

[tvoss]

Anyone know where to buy the correct crimp on lugs to repair a nato slave cable? All the lugs I can find have the bolt hole off to the side instead of in the center like the military ones. I tried to test fit one of the offset lugs, but it doesn't look like it will work.

I guess no one knows where to get these lugs?

I know you won't find the lugs at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Since it is a military item have you tried the usual Military Supply dealers.

Memphis Equipment
Saturn Supply
White Owl
Eastern Surplus
Erik's Suprplus
Front Line MV
Boyce

and many, many more.

I did check their online catalogs, but you are right. I need to pick up the phone and give them a call. Thanks

Is this for a cable or a receptacle? I got mine from an electric supply house near me. Soldered it on and bolted it in.

TRY THIS WWW.MILBATTERIES.COM LOOK FOR AB CONNECTORS. THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL FOR YOU.

Did you try Skycraft Parts & Surplus in Orlando?

I'm looking for the lug that crimps (or solders) on the cable and then bolts into the receptacle. Do you have the part number from the supply house? The place I checked only seems to have offset lugs instead of straight lugs.

That was too far back for me to have the part number, sorry. On the flip side, I have see people take copper tube and make their own lugs for cable. It didn't look too bad.

Why not post a picture of what you need. Some of us have never been inside of the slave cable ends.

How about something like this.

iirc, I used a normal lug and ground one side down some.
