V8 O2 sensor 1 connector replacement. I've found the correct plug, seals and the 2 silver terminals but I can't find the 2 gold terminals. Does anybody have a source for these? They are Sumitomo 1500-0134
This is no good as it has 4 silver pins. The oxygen sensor and the plug on the car loom has 2 gold terminals and 2 silver terminals. The gold and silver terminals have different resistance. The gold is also less suspectable to corrosion. You'll also need to connect the wires with will also add resistance. The resistance will effect the readings.
Cheers for the suggestion though!
I've sourced plenty of gold terminals now. I might put little kits together so people can easily replace theirs.

What I linked are used at the LR repair shops in my area for that job, no known issues. I also repaired my personal 04 D2 with these 3 years ago, been working perfectly and within specs. It's often hard for folks to do that type of terminal repair without the proper crimpers, and those can be expensive for a one time repair. Easier to do a wire splice for most folks
