Subject:      Hall Sender connector socket - replace part/whole?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi guys,

I noticed that my hall effect sender on the distributor ('89 2.1 WBX) has a
cracked connector socket. Since the whole connector is held in place with a
zip tie, I'm guessing that it's been in less-than-perfect condition for some
time (I've owned it 1 year) but I also found more black plastic pieces of
the shattered connector inside the distributor (removed with care) but the
whole rickety affair just doesn't feel right to me, so I want to do
something about it.

Is my best option to replace the Hall Sender ($100 to $175 depending on
supplier) or can I simply replace the connector socket? That is, if somebody
knows where to get one or has one lying around to sell me.

Cheers,
Peter
