Ripped a plug from the harness

1989 swapped T2, mods in sig block.

So I was working under the hook on my car and pulled the O2 sensor plug from the wiring harness (dont ask how lol). O2 sensor is still good but I would like to replace this plug as there is wire left to fit it onto. Is there a place I can get this at because I havent seen it at auto shops and am about to just straight wire it.

That must be a weak plug, I did the same exact thing on a friend's S5 TII If I were in the position, I'd get a male & female spade connector, attach one of each to the harness end and the sensor end, connect them and heat-shrink the union.

Autozone and Napa dont have any single wire connectors (which would be our O2 sensors). They only have dual and triple. Any way I can make this go smoothly with those parts?? Maybe an online source someone recommends?

Universal Bosch o2 sensors come without a plug anyways,so it is Ok to just strip and solder and wrap.The O2 wire is shielded enough and frankly you don't need the Shielding all the way from one point to the other.Just in the Priority area like around the ECU and the Manifold area.

Avoid the solder and use a crimp connector, pack both sides with dielectric grease and shrink wrap. Now you have a solid connection with a moisture barrier.
