Fuel pump terminals....dodgy old repair 200

Well, as the cars we love age along with us, we find along the way bits about their history. For example, past repairs carried out in hasty and sometimes tasteless fashion.

I have an 88 245 and was moments ago about to replace the main fuel pump. A couple weeks ago I took pride in ordering a proper Bosch pump. I felt it would be a disservice to the car to put anything less in place, but as I get the pump and filter assembly down, what do I discover? A no name pump that is now mocking me. In particular the wiring connections, you see, as whoever installed it had to cut out the factory terminals and splice on simple ring terminals! I usually like surprises, but not in this case!

Aside from a parts car, does anyone have any tips on where I could source original style push-on terminals? Is there a way to modify the Bosch pump so it will accept ring terminals?

Thanks.
