Pad Wear Sensor Connector...

[Steve Sherman <spsherm@ibm.net>]

One of the wires to my front brake pad wear sensor has broken.  Right at
the point where the wire comes out of the plastic, so there is no wire
to crimp/splice back together...

And, since Murphy had a hand in this, it's the side of the connector
that stays with the car...when you change pads...

Perhaps it's a bit anal, but I'd like to fix this... Short of getting
one from a donor car somewhere, can one get the connector metal contact
pieces separately, like one does for many electronic type connectors?

Just curious what folks usually do about this problem.  Is it a lost
cause, are the wires getting too old to last?  What are the chances that
my next pads will even have these connectors?

TIA
