Need help with a Connector

I'm restoring a 1983 SC cab and I am having trouble sourcing this connector. It is the male O2 sensor connector on the car side. Looks to be made of Bakelite or some other hard plastic. Mine is completely disintegrated and I took this picture of some pictures in Wayne's book, so sorry for the bad quality. According to Pelican, this is part of the harness and was never available by itself. It simply solders on, so I'm not sure why... Anyway, if anyone has one from an old harness, or has a workaround that isn't too cobby, I'd appreciate some input. I am trying to keep this as original as possible, so electrical tape isn't what I'm looking for!! Thanks!

Henry Schmidt is posting about wiring harnesses he is building. Find a salvaged one out of a harness, solder it in place with heat shrink. A harness company named YtoZ, or something like that makes harnesses. I purchased one from them for a job I was doing, very high quality. How good do you want it?

That exact connector was used in many cars of the era. After 30 to 40 years they are just rotten plastic junk. VW, Mercedes, Audi and I believe some American cars used them.

One of the members here on Pelican was making and selling them. Search for the O2 Sensor. Hopefully he or someone is making that connector.

I bought the replacement from the Pelican member many years ago and it works great.

Awesome, thank you - reached out to Louie to see if he has any connectors left.

Hey if Louie doesn't have one, I bought the Kroon replacement. Then I found out my Lamda is not in the circuit and the mix was set manually by the shop that restored it before I got it.

If you would like to buy it from me, send me a message at motorstereo at gmail.com and we can work something out.
