Default 73 gauge dilemma

Working on righting the wrongs done to this car before we got it.
Replacing all of the wiring with new M&H harnesses.
The fuel and volt gauges are not original to this car.
The harness has plugs for each gauge. Clearly, the gauges do not have the plug receiver. Are the receivers available, or do I need to snip the plugs off the harness and add ring terminals?
Which wire goes to which stud?

Don't know if they make the fittings?


Here is a pic from assembly manual, if your harness has the plug-ins like these can determine which wires go where.

Awesome! I don't know why I didn't look in my manual. Exactly what I was looking for.

Crossing my fingers that I can find the tabs in the next few days. If not I'll make something work!

In case anyone is concerned, I've found a guy local to me that had a grungy but complete gauge pod for use as parts......
On to the next battle!
