Hello is there a electrical supply company i can buy all the stock factory type original plugs for a 69 charger as i wish to build my own harness i have a harness to copy but the plugs are old and brittle i vaguely remember a company name i think it was American electrical supply or something like that .The plugs pop up on eBay but from different sellers  which makes it hard as your paying more for shipping than what the plug is worth any help would be appreciated thank you

www.megapartsusa.com sells most of them in good prices for the Mopar specific ones.

Now, the more generic ones are available at many electrical autosuppliers. this is just one of the many avalable

Thanks Nacho unfortunately i have to do it this way I'd rather just buy a loom  but the conversion rate and shipping rates +10% GST is killing us guys over here trying to get parts. Lucky I've got most of my big ticket items already prior to price hikes.We are getting charged 10% on goods & services tax for second had goods which makes no sense as the tax is for new items & services and on top of that shipping costs from the USA for some reason has become absolutely ridiculous on the smallest items . Anyway I've had my little rant thanks for the links

Don't worry, I'm an overseas customer too, so I know what you talk about.

Sure having my car in Venezuela is easier than Australia. I use to have a sea carrier making the forward shipping service between Miami and Caracas but having all the parts together storaged in Miami ( sometimes by 3 or even 4 months ) untill get a larger enough package and get a better total shipping rate. But ( I hope soon ) once my car arrives to Spain ( on a body job now in Vzla ) I will be crying about shipping and taxes rates worst. I hope to find a similar shipping method between USA and Spain.

Some of these seller gets also Molex terminals and plugs, which our cars also use, but not all of them, and not even in both sizes ( although second gens just get the smaller I think ). So be sure about your needs and confirm one seller able to get the most parts you need, no matter if expensive by piece, but on the long, cheaper by shipping. But should know this same as me.

Can you get around that hassle by having a third party
buy what you need locally and then shipping it to you as
a private shipment?

I can guess there are restrictions.......but
maybe worth a try??
