Never know if you don’t try. If you are up for making your own harness, try TE Connectivity. They have a good selection of different connectors. I’ve ordered several kinds from them when making light bar harnesses, and repairing Ford harnesses.
I have Mouser and Digikey accounts - they sell all the major brands.
I have to keep some of the old-school connectors on hand for restorations.

That would have come in handy for me back in the 80’s, when I was working on Studebakers. Can just anyone set up accounts with them, or do you have to be a business? I still find a need for different connectors and plugs when working on my old Willys.

Anyone can.

I do restorations, wiring harnesses, etc. for cars from the 60s-80s. Work for show cars, restoring and plating parts like wiper motors, alternators, etc. Usually the wiring is toast.

I still have a NOS (New Old Stock) alternator for an early 1960s Jeep, correct model, etc.

Thanks in advance. Can anyone tell me what type of connectors these are? They’re part of a quadratec DRL harness, but I want to buy some to create a similar harness to splice off of the blinker circuits without cutting or tapping the OEM harness.

I've bought from this company in the past. Needed connectors for my Harley. They will most likely have what you're looking for or something you can make work. If you know the oem part number you can find what you're looking for. Good luck.

I posted a link to one of the parts he needs because the part numbers are on the shell.
Once you know one, you can find the other.

Yeah I seen your post as soon as I posted mine. Great minds right?? Mouser has been a great resource for me in the past as well. The numbers on my Harley connectors was exactly how I cross referenced and found the exact connectors I needed.

The male connector is Molex 34899-6120. The pins for that connector are TE Connectivity 1418762-1.

The female connector is Molex 34900-6119.

The sockets for that connector are TE Connectivity 7-1452668-1

Looks like your all squared away with the Molex info correct?

Yes, thanks. And another member had an extra harness like I needed, so we’re doing some Jeep swap meet action. :)

The only negative is you need the "pins" as I call them, seals and so on. But getting the shell number gets you a lot closer as it's easier to find the rest once you have that.
It's harder to find some of that older stuff.
I've run into issues with the Prestolite wiper motors I restore - when I buy reproduction harnesses and need to change the ends to match the switch configuration, the shells and connectors they use are the same number but don't fit the original shells so I have to salvage shells, and snip the ends off the reproduction harness and put on new connectors. There's an incredibly small difference in the length and one won't index into the plastic shell correctly. Same part, same number. One company in the world makes those harnesses. I bought every last one of them last spring and was told no more until the end of last year.

A guy from Kenosha has sent me two boxes of used regulators, over 40, to test, clean, restore the appearance on them and do whatever is needed for the connectors on the pigtail. Can't buy the plastic connector shells anywhere.
Isn't this fun! LOL
