Default Gauge connector

Hey,

When I bought my scooby the connector for my oil pressure gauge was broken and the female connectors were weak and one broke off. I'm trying to work out what connector/plugs will work and was looking for some advice!

I came across DuPont 2.4mm female connectors and bought a couple but they are too big. I'm struggling to find ones small enough. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's the top left plug on here

I've contacted them and they want to just sell me a new cable which I would prefer to avoid if possible

Something like this might do it. Splice/solder together with the free end of your original cable as required.
