Long shot - looking for electrical parts for the 62 Flair range

[turquoisedude]

A couple of months ago, the large (8") right front Radiantube on the 62 Flair in St-Liboire went *pow* on me.  The connectors to the unit looked pretty cooked so I figured that the element went supernova on me.  As part of the dismantling process, I noticed this cut wire leading to one of the connector blocks.  I would like to get a new blade-type connector (it looks like a 1/4 inch male spade-type connector with a tab).  I found a few sources on line but I'd have to order a 100 of them...

Is there any other place that might sell these in smaller quantities?  My favourite electrical supply store closed over 3 years ago now...

Sorry for the awful pictures - phone is dying and I had to get range put back together to cook dinner.

Flair Connector Blocks

Hi Paul, are those the wires that go to the surface elements ?,

 

If so just get rid of the disconnect blocks altogether they were only there for assembly ease at he factory, we used to get rid of those all the time on Fairs when they started to fail.

Hi John, 

 

Yep, it's the connectors for the surface units.  Would it be OK to splice them, using something like a crimp connector?

Soldering with heat-shrink tubing  or even twist-on wire nuts are better than crimp connectors, but if done well any of these ways of connecting the wires can work well.
