Rebuild it by hand or go to a junk yard cause there is no such kit available.

Got it.
That sucks.
As long as you can get a good connection with the spade clip and can make sure it wont fall off you dont actually need the plug.
So you might beable to Jerry Rig something.

I was an Aviation Electrician and a Missile Manufacturing engineer. What you can do after you solder if possible or just crimp on spade connections, you can use what is called a "Potting Compound" to make your own insulating plug.

It is basically a two-part rubber -like material. You could make a small mold of some tape or something and pot it, or you could probably suffice with a good RTV type material. Just make sure the connections are well covered.

Default Found repair kits!

This may help with future repairs. Connectorsfast.com has a repair kit for land rovers part ev1 can be gotten with plug only or with a
6 inch pigtail for quick repairs. Very reasonable too!!!

Just added that to the tech section.
Perfect for those who might need a connector in the future.
