Does anyone know where to get some of these? All you can get from
Mazda is a complete wiring harness for $450. I lost one of the
spring clips that holds the connector on.

Hi Chuck,

I get mine in bulk from Ashdown Enterprises,  a local auto
electrician wholesaler,  See: http://www.ashdown.com.au/  There
are also several other organisations that import fuel injection stuff,
but will usually only sell to the trade or other wholesalers.

So if you only need a couple,  any good auto electrician or anyone
specialising in fuel injection in your area should have them,  and
they are not expensive.  Replacing the old clips is a regular
occurrence, especially the older style that get really brittle with age.

The new style has a spring loaded release clip which makes them
a cinch to remove without the need of a sharp fine pointed hook to
get at that silly little spring clip!!.

A mob called Wurth also sell this new style as well.You have an
extensive Wurth distribution network in the US.  See:
http://www.wurthusa.com/en/start.html
Wurth is a German based company specialising in workshop
consumables  They have a band of travelling salesmen that call on
a regular basis on nearly every workshop in Sydney,  and I would
assume that they would do the same in the Hew Hess Hay..

Apart from their nice thick metic washers,  we particularly like their
OEM style neutral cure sealants for sump pans and gearbox
casings and waterpumps.  It takes a while to set,  but doesn't set
rock hard,  and is easy to remove,  yet makes beautiful water & oil
tight seals on metal to metal without the need of any gaskets.

They also sell a whole range of extremely high quality (albeit
expensive) workshop consumables like nuts & bolts,  and copper
and aluminium washers,  sealants, "O" rings, electrical connectors
etc.

Hope this helps!
