Bullet connectors. Ebay is as good a place as any. I have a box of about a thousand mixed spade, bullet, ring. Cost me about 15 quid iirc.
Brilliant thank you so much! Makes sense!!

Could be wrong...but I think LR bullets won't fit those cheapy crimp ones, seem to remember an issue with the male or female ones.
I've purchased the LR females easy enough but never tried getting the males cos I've never needed them.

LR using non-bog standard parts for a cheap connector? I'm shocked!
Bought an indicator stalk and the bullets didnt fit cant remember which either...think it was the males into the loom connecter...
Those are old school Lucas bullets connectors.

The older bullets are 4.7mm, newer ones tend to be 3.5mm
Just make sure you get the right diameter

Halfords sell the cheap ones in packs of half a dozen or so. You'll find them around the audio area usually. They come in red, blue and yellow. The bullets are the same size. The colour designates the size of wire they take. Red small, blue bigger and yellow bigger still.
It's something like 1.5mm, 2.5mm and 4mm wire.
Hello everyone! Thanks for all the tips! Just to update you!
My cheap bullets did not fit, but no problem as dirt cheap and needed the spades etc anyway.
Got the proper connectors and wire from the distributor above. Not very expensive either and made in the UK which makes a change from china!!!!
Now I have the bits i'll soon have the clock in!

The LR ones fit above where your clock is, I used to have one but fitted a mudstuff thing later on.
The LR ones used to be hard to get but I'm going back 13 yrs or so, might be easy to get now.

Quick Google shows the type, it's upside down in the pic, fits on the sloopy part of your grey vent panel and the front lip goes under the top horizontal soft dash.
Jeez! Only paid under a tenner for mine.

I'll have to watch out for a secondhand one!!!!
Can you remember if it was easy to put in?
