Anyone seen one of these ford speaker connectors before? Its on an Escort mk3 parcel shelf... wouldn't mind the female end. If not i'll have to chop it off and find another connector.  |

never seen a ford of that era with anything other than a spade connector, but ive never seen one with factory fitted speakers in the parcel shelf so that's probably why. A google of that part number shows up this page, they seem to have the female corresponding part listed too, so hopefully somewher ein the uk will be able to supply similar. www.johnwhitehead.co.nz/index.php?id=457 |

Mk3 escort used them for a factory rear speaker install, usually with a joystick as well, mainly on Ghias and the odd RS turbo, plugged into the N/S parcle shelf support  rare even back in the day, orion never used them cos of the lack of removable parcle shelf, shame cos there were lots more orions than escort Ghias  |

Cheers for the replies on this. I did a lot of googling "ford 80s parcel shelf connector "etc and got nothing. I may just have to replace it with something else to be honest... but lets see. Seems its out of stock right now.
I think it must have been from a Ghia, the guy also gave me the dash consol that has that joystick (doubt i'll wire that up though). also it was originally a brown parcel shelf but has faded pretty much perfectly to the grey of my car!! Just needs some new speakers i think.

They are called amp connectors. More of an industrial or military product than an automotive one. I have probably put together over a thousand of the things  |
