Default Knock sensor connector repair

Well while I was putting the heat shields back on, I noticed the connectors for the knock sensors were shot. The passenger side has fraying on both wires. The drivers side doesn't show any fraying I can see but I'm sure if I replace one, might as well do both. Anybody know where to get the connectors and leads? The frayed wire is at the connector so I'll need a new connector on the passenger side for sure.
Thanks
jason

Its almost like a smaller coaxial cable then split to the sensors below left and right. I think it will throw p0327 but wont trigger the ses light. If you need to get the similar cable, you can go to markertek, its a shielded thin BNC cable. But a regular stranded wire will do like what I did.

Ok BC I saw it was shielded cable and it didn't throw codes before I did the head job but when I was wrapping new loom covers on it, I noticed it and trying to be proactive. My only concern is that it's right at the connector so I'll need to get a new connector. Any ideas where to get them from

This is the knock sensor. Just the other female connector you need, right?

I'll need to get a new connector.
Many connectors have removable pins/sockets. If yours in good shape may be able to replace the sockets/terminals?

I just did this recently. Since it's right at the conne tir you can cut the connectors off a junk loom up to the splice(the 2 wires go to one in a bizarre splice) and solder/heat shrink both wires.

or email Paul in the U.K., he has what you need.
