Cigarette Lighter Bullet Terminal Size

[Gretz]

Troubleshooting the cigarette lighter in my 82 SC revealed that the positive wire had separated from the bullet terminal used to plug it into the lighter. I am in search of a quality replacement. My calipers indicate the size is approx 3.3mm and I've been unable to find anything similar - I've found plenty of 3.5mm and 4mm. Perhaps I'm measuring the connector wrong? Can someone please steer me in the right direction?

Here’s a better pic of the connector itself:

To resolve my own thread, Dennis answered the question. The connectors are only available in a pack: 91161211305

You could just de-solder the old one and solder the wire back on.
Heating it up till solder flows, and then dropping it on the bench so the solder and bits of wire falls out, works well to get the old stuff out quickly.
Then spread the pins with a razor blade and likely good to go.

I had a similar issue and similar fix. I cut off the end of the connector where the original +ve wire was soldered, drilled a small hole into the end of the connector, inserted a new wire, soldered it and then used heat shrink tube to protect it all.

Works as well as it used to, though my main issue was tidying it all up so there wasn't a live wire floating around behind the dash.. I have a cup holder that mounts into the cig lighter socket, and think that over the years it turned the socket enough to break the +ve wire from the connector.
