When i went to pull the wiring connections of the old pump I discovered that someone had bodged some bullet connectors on which fell apart!

Does anyone know where I can get the correct yellow and black plugs from or is anyone breaking an RST or Sierra Cosworth with the plugs I need with a length of loom.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated as Im only using the car until the end of the month before sorning it for winter.

Shame I binned my factory fit one a couple of months ago after storing it for a few years. still had the ends on.

Consider buying a die(6mm?) and creating a thread on the connecting studs as im sure bosch was just a push on plug type? and fitting the eye and nut connector conversion?

It's a bit of messing around Mark, I'd rather get the push on plugs and solder them on tbh. I've emailed a few RST breakers on fleabay so hopefully someone will be able to help.

Always a last resort. Would be good if you fit the blue sytec banjo nut on the end of the pump to match the cradle.

I fit a red one on my car when I got the AS cradle.

Quick Question, how are the old connectors held? I press the 2 lock tabs and pull but they won't budge (been on 30 years) Is it brute force?

Thank you
