16-14 AWG 6.3 mm wide

So maybe a FLAPS has these? I've sourced similar terminals at my FLAPS.
Haven't tried them yet as I don't have the proper crimp tool (barrel clamp)
I guess one could hand crimp them then solder.
But... I did re-use some used VW terminals on a square to round
headlight install.
Cleaned them, hand crimped, soldered.

The larger wire gauge terminals may not be so easy to find?
