I am currently working on my V8s which I recently brought in order to be able to MOT it (Been off the road since 2007) Working through the obvious stuff I am now at the front end replacing the ball joints, Servo, master cylinder, cleaning up wishbones re-painting etc. While replacing the front brake pipes I noticed that where the two main earth straps bolt to the chassis there are two connector blocks which take smaller earth spade ends, they are badly corroded, does anyone know where I can get replacements.

Damn,
Just brought a pair of these from Classic car parts and they are much longer (25mm) than the originals. In fact they will not fit, I have checked their website again and they only list one type of 1.6 resistor. Does anybody know anywhere else that I can try?

Shame cause they were only a couple of quid each!
