Defender connectors

Hi all. I’ve got a broken connector pin on the loom of my ‘87 110

and I’d like to source a new connector.
Can anyone tell me the connector make and model as in the picture, and maybe a source of supply?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the link.
They were most helpful and pointed me in the direction of some alternatives. Unfortunately the loom is made using moulded connectors and so requires a replacement connector.

The original Lucas RIST rubber connectors can be repaired. Slide out the faulty male pin with a pair of long nose pliers and cut off male bullet. Fit new bullet to wire, then use WD40 as a light lubricant on both the connector and pin. Re-fit bullet, job done.

Oh, the bullet size I forget but they're readily available from Autosparks and AES.

Thanks for that. I’ll give that a go.
