In this case, "terminal block" best describes it. Will not find OEM style at any elec. shop. Gary

  I believe that these are called "Kulka" strips, and used to be available 
  through electric supply shops.

  little widget of my '57 C for its restoration. Everything is coming out 
  really nicely. But I have to hit you guys up on this little one.

  The five-post terminal block on the radiator support is bakelite with 
  molded-in posts that were probably originally zinc plated. All the plating has 
  rusted off the posts, and I can't think of a coating I can renew them with 
  that will look right, be conductive, and protect them against rusting again 
  for the long haul.

  Does anyone have an idea for this? Or is there an accurate replacement 
  available?

  Thanks to all for the help.
