Ignition barrel/switch connector plug.

The plug that goes onto the ignition barrel has a broken retaining clip so I'm after a replacement. Anyone got an idea of where to get one from.

Problem is he needs the actual wiring connector which is part of the car loom, will be Vauxhall as suggested but difficult to find now.
I would try and find a way of holding it on somehow, maybe clever use of some cable ties.
If it is causing issues maybe the terminals could be removed from it and put directly on to the terminals, would need to be covered with heat shrink though.
Thanks for that as that's exactly the point. I am thinking the same as drawing a blank trying to source a connector. I will also see if its possible to 3d print a new one.

Just learnt from my son (hes a snior engineer in automotive business) that its common piece in many vauxhalls and a recall was issued by Lotus. Fix was solder directly onto the switch and add in a 5 way connector. We will do that mod.

Thanks folks points taken as well. I only have 2 wires to consider 12v feed in to the switch and 12v out to fuse board.

FYI I have separate start button and wiring on the dashboard.
