I know I am not the only S1 owner with a few patched up wiring sensor connectors on the K Jetronic sensors. These do get brittle and the spring retainers do get lost. I haven't seen any new connectors for some time, I have even asked at shows. No doubt there has been a supplier somewhere but I didnt find one. I have however found these on ebay;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301029655386?ssPageName=...
A firm called Auto Electrical Spares of Kineton, Warwickshire, 01926 640055.

I bought one to try it and it appears to be the business.
Might be of use to other 2.8 owners?

I don't remember seeing those on the 2.9. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 2.8 is all Bosch (same as the ebay part), and the 2.9 is all Ford.

I had an Alfa 75 years ago where most of the Bosch clips were damaged, so I replaced them all with parts from an Alfa specialist in Virginia.

Yep, you're wrong smile

2.9 uses Bosch L jetronic coupled to Ford's EEC-IV engine management

Sorry Chris, and I am one to tell others to check what we already know before asking questions! Shame on me, I have never looked at that earlier link. Interestingly the earlier link also lists the weather sealing components which are also often knackered.
