Replacement terminals for CPU connector?

Any help or links trying to find replacement crimp terminal(s) for the black CPU connector? Have wire snapped clean off at the crimp. I've located similar AMP ones but not an expect replacement yet or one in the correct size I think would work.

I think your best bet would be to find a spare harness and de-pin the pin you need and cut it as a pigtail and solder it into your harness. Then you will only have one wire that has been altered. Resistance shouldn't change much if you have some soldering skill and don't overdo it. You should be just fine.

Thanks, It's only the 1 wire I need to fix. I suspect tracking down a harness for 1 pin might be troublesome and more expensive than finding the correct terminal and ordering a sample.

Shoot me a picture of the pin that you need. Front and rear of the connector will help me determine the size. I have a few spare harnesses from RX-7's and I'm sure I can de-pin a few or just clip a pigtail and send it to you.

Oh that's an easy one, for some reason I thought you were looking for something like the Sumitomo 090 pin.

You want TE 172773-1 (see picture attached). This is used all across the AMP/MIC/MIC II connector line.
