Hello fellow Ford friends ... I am wondering if any of you may have a source for open-ended flag-type spade connectors and black/white striped 10G wire?
Let me explain my application. First, I am fixing a few incorrect details after a body-off restoration. One of them is the power window circuit. While my car is a 7-Litre, many facets of the design and application are similar. The challenge I have is that there simply isn't the wealth of knowledge and information about 7-Litres as there is for Mustangs. So I'm hoping some of you may have input which may steer me in the right direction.
To start, as you know, Ford added a 20A breaker at the solenoid then ran a heavy gauge wire to a "power window safety relay". In my application, the wire is a black/white striped 10G and the relay is located on the firewall to the left of the wiper motor. From the relay, a blue wire goes to the PW lockout switch and a red wire goes to the accessory post on the ignition switch (both travel through the firewall and a junction block).
If you look at the diagram which shows the solenoid, you'll see there are two (double-crimp) flag connectors for the blue/red wires on each side and an open-end spade for the heavy black/white wire which screws into the center connector. Where I need help is on sources for 10G black/white striped wire and the open-end flag-type spade for the center connector on the relay. So far I've found open-end flag-type spade connectors, but they aren't double-crimp. Instead they look like the one in the picture.
Anyone have suggestions?
So far I have checked Vintage Ford but didn't have luck.

Many thanks in advance.
