66 Ford F100 wiring connectors

I am rewiring a 66 F100, i have all the wiring kits I need, but am needing to rewire the master cylinder wires, the 2 wires on the pins for the brake lights. So heres the deal, you know the little connector jacket/boot thats on the end, i cannot for the life of me find that kind of connector or similar to use, does anyone know the name of that type of connector? I spend an hour on google looking at connector end images and havent come across it at all. So if you know the name of this connector and where I can buy them I would appreciate it, i took the wires to autozone and they pointed me to the wire connectors which none of the would "snap" on like these boots do. thanks for your help

Just completed wiring mine today, taken me ages lol.

I soldered my cables and then screwed them down. Works wonders.

I'm in the UK, so had to alter the brake cabling a little, I used the American Autowire kit. Had a couple of bits of information missing, but I managed to work it all out. Very good kit. Word of advise, when you crimp solder the connections also

Are you talking about the ones that are at 90 degree angle ? Maybe you can splice these into your harness.

I did this today with Dorman part number 85432. Bullet terminals, female .157"

Bought them because they look like they'd work, guy at store confirmed that's the size, and they were a perfect fit. I crimped them on the ends of the wires, and snapped them right onto the terminals of the brake light switch. Not an OEM look, but very functional.

Bullet connector is correct description, but finding the in a 90 degree version for an original look is difficult. As markeyd mention size, yes they come in different diameters.
