Question spade to ring connectors

I want to change my guages. I currently have VDO that have spade connectors, to guages that have ring teminals. I keep hearing that there are spade to ring conversion connectors? Has anyone heard of these and where can I get them? Thanks

Not sure how livorsi gauges are, but my autometer set came with 90 degree male spades attached to the gauges with a 6-32 nut on a stud. I removed the 90 degree male spade and used ring terminals directly on the 6-32 studs.

I placed a washer on the stud, then a primary nut, followed by the ring terminal and then another nut

I don't see why you would want to introduce another termination to the circuit. You still have the spade female to male and are only adding a "nut and bolt" ring to ring splice.

I think it will just be easier than having to cut off all the female spades and put on all the ring connectors.
