Default 1987 Fiesta Mk2 Ignition Amp plug and wire problem

Hi people, got a real problem.

A few months back whilst driving, the engine cut out and wouldnt start again.
Lucky for me, I was only 10 seconds away from the my driveway.
Thinking it was a distributor problem, I replaced it with a new cap, but it still wouldnt start.
The local mechanic had a look at it and found out it had no spark.
The 3 pin plug that was attached to the ignition amplifier was corroded and basically dead looking.

The mechanic has managed to get another amplifier, but we are struggling to find a Bosch 3 pin plug with wire attached still.

Does anyone know a good website to get such parts or has anyone got a 3 pin plug with wire to sell?

Cant believe trying to find this part is such a headache!

If it's a bog standard square/rectangular timer plug then they are readily available.

If it's something weird, could you re-pin the original plug?
