I had tried to scavenge terminals from an FJ60 harness by using the smallest terminals of the harness. These were too large to fit the connector shell. From the later model harnesses at the Toyota dealership I pulled two sizes which I’ll call “larger” and “smaller”. For reference I’ll give the dimensions of the terminals as w(idth) x h(eight) x l(enght) in mm.

FJ60 4.01 x 2.68 x 5.16
Larger 3.08 x 2.76x 9.02
Smaller 2.57 x 2.51 x 7.05

While the smaller terminals had a tighter fit on the alternator pins once in the connector they did not have a depth I was comfortable with, so I swapped those out for the larger terminals. I think these will provide a greater contact area because they are 2 mm longer.

In the photo the FJ60 terminal is on the left, the “larger” late model center, and the “smaller” on the right.
