Coming through my wiring loom and see where there are these crimps to tie legs into a few different wires, appears was a factory thing. Where do I find some replacement crimps, or what's best thing to use if I wanna re-do or re-crimp them?

I'd just grab some TE Connectivity butt connectors from Mouser and seal it with adhesive heat shrink.

This are the only crimp tool that I use to produce a factory equivalent connection .... been using the same tool for 30 yrs .... the tool is Kent Moore but I am sure there are other tools that will produce the same result.

The stock terminals are open barrel terminals and you'll want to use an open barrel crimper.  I already had a HarborFreight ratcheting crimper but the dies were wrong, so I got a set of open barrel dies from Aircraft tool supply on amazon.  CycleTerminal.com has a crimper. not sure if you have to get the dies separately, so ask.  VintageConnections is another place with terminals etc.  Wherever you get your stuff, be sure to buy plenty of spare terminals for practice or in case you mess up. 

Double and triple bullet terminals. plus 10-pack waterproof bullets at the bottom of the page.
