I want a connector with the exact same dimensions as this. The most important is the external 14mm:

The Problem is it is from Latvia, so I would have to wait for postage and with Christmas coming it may be a very long time.

I tried automec, but they don't make one like this. Does anyone else make / import brass connectors in the UK?

How many do you need?
If it's only a few I'd make 'em myself but if it's for a production line that's different.

ETA sorry if this seems a bit abrupt - I've just seen you're new here

Yes I only need a few. How would you make these? I don't have a lathe or anything like that.

Try Beal motorparts, they might have something in their catalogue.

I already tried them and they don't have anything.


I see plenty in the states of that dimension - why so difficult here?

Supply & demand. There is obviously no demand...

No idea if they have the size you need, but I have used www.automec.co.uk before and all seemed good.

To me that looks a fairly standard connector I would imagine available from any decent motor factor, M10 is the standard metric brake fitting thread and 14mm hex the normal connector size.
