this is where i buy stuff when i have lead time.

http://www.eagleday.com/blco.html

also if you have a local shop that buys from wurth you can get all this
stuff through them.

http://www.wurthusa.com

buy the way the kind of crimp terminal that your after is generally
referred to as a open barrel type and it takes a speical crimper to crimp
like the factory does.  you can find a "cheap" tool at eagleday.com.  i
have an ideal brand one with changeable dies.
