You can get those anywhere - home depot, lowes, radio shack - it's just a wire tap

Default Sure, looks like a 3M 560...

but a 558 would probably be better for that application. Mouser has no minimum order.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mouser.com/catalog/624/1059.pdf">Mouser catalog page</a></li></ul>

Default I've since soldered in a spade connector so that I can remove the gauge without dropping........

the lower dash. It is also much more reliable than the wire tap connectors.
