I purchased a replacement fitting for this wiring(connector, wires, 2 
lugs) for about $9 from one of the DMC suppliers a few years ago. 
Kind of expensive for a plug and a couple of lugs, but it was OEM. 
Any other quality connector should be functionally equivalent. Saw a 
car last week where it was wire nuts and extension-cord wire, that 
was probably a LITTLE too crude, but it did work.
