Is this O2 Sensor connector repairable/replaceable?

[seafood10]

I am ready to put the engine back in and was going through the engine bay when I noticed this, what can i do about it?
The wire is still connected but the plastic end of it has broken loose.

Louie85 was making some replacements - maybe worth a PM.

+1 on Louie85's solution.

I bought two from him (one for a spare) and installed it. Somewhere along the line, my car was completely jury-rigged with an aftermarket WeatherPak connector and a soldered line to the Oxy Sensor. I now have Louie's replacement connector in the engine bay and a factory style oxy sensor assembly. I feel much better now that it is all essentially stock.

Thanks, just sent him a PM.

I bought the replacement as well. Mine was completely broken off . But!! If yours has the wire still attached you may want to try some super glue first. I heard some guys fix it that way . Or, buy the new one. Mine works great!

I drive my 81 without the O2 plugged in.. runs great.

How can I get Louie85's part or is it still available?

I replaced mine with a weatherpack connector. Since the Bosch 02 sensor no longer has the female plug, that end would have needed to be spliced anyway.

The wire connected to the male end is shielded with braided copper, and my understanding is that you can confuse the sensor if you accidentally splice in the shielding with the actual sensor wire. While it isn't factory, it did solve my problem and was relatively inexpensive ($30 or so dollars if I remember for the single pin connector and Packard crimpers).

Hope this can help!
