    The PO of my 73 cj5 discarded several of the "quick connects" on the left rear taillight and side marker lamp hookups. Does anyone know of a source for replacements? I know electricians tape will work, but I'd rather have the original look.

    Any suggestions?

    If you go to a pick-your-part wrecking yard and snoop around in the cars, you should be able to find something that looks similar. I'd just clip it out and splice it in. Look at old posts for use of barrel connectors and heat shrink tubing for connecting wires. Heat shrink will be much stronger, neater and more waterproof than electrical tape. There are places that sell restoration supplies for old cars that often advertise in Hemmings Motor News - they might have something that would work.

    Depending on what you need, the "help" displays at many auto parts stores carry a wde array of electrical parts for old vehicles.
