Mine broke and I used a new female spade connector that mated with the sensor's male spade. The plastic body isn't essential.

I have looked for that connector seperately, but have had no luck. But I did find alternator plugs!!

I wound up cutting away the upper portion of the cap down to where the "body" of the cap begins - leaving the release tab intact. This exposed the very top of the metal tang which connects to the pin in the sensor. It also exposed about a 1/4" of wire. Stripping the wire allowed me to insert a new wire along side the old and also into the metal crimp section of the tang - which was now loose because of the rubber insulator which was removed along with the plastic pieces. Re-crimped, soldered, RTV'd, and painted with some liquid rubber for good measure. VOM shows a zero ohm circuit and we're back in business.
Thanks again for the input.
