Where can a person buy the terminals that fit the round connector that plus into the back of the gauge cluster?

Molex .093 fit the pins good. Not sure if they will lock into the housing. I can check today.

If you really want to make them tight tight, put them in a vice and squeeze them just a little. Make them oval. If you look at the factory female plugs, they are a little ovaled. I could not believe that a new harness from H&S did not have these on. I had to find them locally and replace the "female connectors" they had on. Pretty lame for a $500 part.

i too, have used the .093 molex connectors. those, and the .125 connectors are also used in the column to main harness connectors.
there is also a dedicated molex terminal crimper, but if one takes care, the crimp can be done using a weatherpak crimper.
buy quality connectors with a few extras to practice with. whatever you do, DON'T buy one of those eleventybillion piece kits that include the crimping pliers, from those import stores that are made of CHINESIUM. ! shake_head

Yes. A quality crimping tool is a must!
