Crimp spades for fuse box

[bromide]

Hi,

I have a wiring fault in the fuse box of my '96 Defender 90.

I plan to work through replacing some of the wires and would like to eject
the spade connectors from the rear of the fuse box and fit new ones. Can
anyone tell me the specification of the spades - they look like ordinary
uninsulated females but have a tab on the rear to lock them into the plastic
cavity in the fusebox. Also, any suggestions on suppliers?

Thanks for any help

Female connector, I suppose. Male ones also available.

There's the Tyco FASTIN FASTON range.

Or Google for "Vehicle Wiring Products".

They may be able to source something close to the original, perhaps...
If LR didn't use something unique that is. Then, you have to get the
old ones out, without damaging the casing etc.

If all else fails, find a friendly dealer with a real service
technician, who wears dirty overalls etc, not the suited/booted types
you find now, who cant/wont do anything unless a computer tells them
to...

(Unintended rant over!)

They do the tool for removing the tags,
they are nothing special ... std female Lucor tag with the lock tag
bent out, can be removed with a very small (thin) flat blade screw
driver but you may well damage the fuse holder, when replacing
try to get the femal tags that you buy " on a roll " as these still
have their tags, the ones you buy singularly may or may not have the
locking tags.
It did not matter wether we had the looms in or out of the vehicles,
we only ever changed ONE wire/ tag at a time!!!
A spectacular event occured once when heavy load attached to minor
feed on a big fuse....as I say ONE at a time.
When makeing the conections pay attention to the mechanical as well as
the electrical conection of the wire..it matters !

Thank you all,

I've certainly noted the point made about one wire at a time - there's quite
a plateful of spaghetti behind the fuse box.!!
I'm looking forward to a fine weekend with no snags - that'll be the day.
