Pigtail Connector

Hello all, Anyone have a source for an inexpensive #10 one wire push on style connector? WPT616 3U2Z-14S411-NSA. These things must be made of gold, prices are $70-$116 from various online suppliers; while the #8 one wire connector is only $2.40 WPT476 on Rock Auto.
Thanks.

The junkyard is where to find BIG good wiring
A 10 gauge, 1 wire push on connector, will be few and far between but findable
Old 80's GM trucks is where to find good wire, Cadillacs etc.

Not 10 AWG, #10 like the size of a #10 bolt.

Thanks for the LMR link, however that is the #8 sized connector which measures little larger than 5/32", the number #10 measures little larger than 3/16"...so if you ever need the #8, Rock Auto is only $2.40

I couldn't find a cheaper aftermarket version. You also use a ring terminal.

spark plug wire terminals and the respective metal clasp i think would probably be close, but the receiving end would have to be a nub like on HEI towers or plug or a recessed hole like on old points caps or the coil on GM TBI coils, or the center of the cap on some others

R&R Ford, which ring terminal? I've tried #10 -24 & #10 - 32n neither work. I'm connecting to a T5 Reverse lamp switch....doing a Ford drive train swap into a Mazda RX8. For around 40 bucks I can get the actual two prong connector for the reverse light switch but again just trying other option in effort to save a few dollars.

AuroraGirl thanks for posting the pictures, best I can tell those two connectors WPT476 and WPT616 are the same except one is #8 (approx) and the other #10 (approx) and for some unknown reason the pricing is massively different.

Hitman X I believe some starter solenoids do use the #10 WPT616 connector.

Appreciate everyone's input.

Maybe just bite the bullet and get the 2 prong connector.

Also looking up, I found 20 dollar "2 post" connector for a T5 with a quick search fopr pigtail. lots of switches are threaded posts like the starter relays, could use nuts/lockwashers and then liquid electrical tape
