Looking to do my own overdrive wiring.
I am aware that the overdrive loom can be bought ready made.
Can someone give me the technical name for the plugs that go into the overdrive switch, as I have not been able to source any as yet.
 
I believe in the US, they are called simply "female quick connects" or sometimes "female disconnect". Sorry I don't recall the correct size offhand, but here's an example

The wire has to be extra small too, to fit through the lever; and I think is supposed to be extra-flexible since it flexes every time you change gears. The room inside the knob is very limited as well. After trying to do my own, I found it easier to just buy that section already made up. Some Spitfires use the same piece.
