Hi all. This may also apply to Pico US, but for Pico Canada, these locking type push on connectors: http://www.picocanada.com/en/product/134.php http://www.picocanada.com/en/product/135.php appear to be the same dimension as an OEM terminal from an older style VW Vanagon fuse panel. The Pico fits and locks in that fuse panel. I can check it against other of same from elsewhere in an '85 harness if need be. The only real caveat I can think of , is that the Pico part is possibly not as strong (as thick a gauge or work hardened from manufacturing?). For any newbs out there, this may be an option. Had I known of these I wouldn't have bothered salvaging the VW parts from a headlight socket. (I cleaned them then re-crimped and soldered them on new slightly larger wires for a headlight upgrade to H4) Question: if a #12 wire crimps properly onto the #14 (max) Pico terminal, is there any reason not do do this? Thanks, Neil.
