Source for a back up light conntector on a G50 tranny
 
One of the two back up light pin connectors broke off on removal. Not sure if I'm going to salvage it or ruin it in the process. Anyone got a source for these rather unusual connectors?

UPDATE: found p/n 911-612-907-00 may be a special order item from Germany

+1 on the drill out/resolder.
I've had to do both connectors going to the switch on my car.

I drilled mine out and soldered it back on.

A friend told me he simply used the male half of a crimp-on connector available at any parts store...

The problem is they are a little skinney so you'll either have to bend them a bit OR I've used a small bolt the same diameter as the "bullet" with nut on it and attach to a circle connector.

That is what she said. Sorry Todd, couldn't resistSmileWavy

I would desolder and reuse

The right tool for the job is a $5 desoldering pump, sometimes called a "solder sucker". Rat Shack carry them, along with 1000's of others.

Cock it, heat the connector with the soldering iron until the solder is molten, stick the teflon tip in the end of the bullet and press the button.

Job done, just resolder the connector.

This is also the way to get rid of/remake those nasty cold/dry joints the factory supplied in the 80's on just about every circuit board in the car (the dull-looking ones with all the flux not boiled off). I'm amazed any of those ever worked/still work/passed QA.
