Interior Electrical Connectors

I'm posting this as it might help others looking to replace electrical connectors under the dash.
My '69 SRL311 came with a some broken connectors. Two were completely disintegrated. I happened to see on Amazon this set for sale for just $9.99:

Turns out that these connectors are very close replacements for stock. In fact, if only one side is broken then you can fix just that side and pair with the original other side. Even better - on the male side connector the stock make pins push right into the new connectors so you don't even need to cut those off and replace them. Just use a very small screwdriver to push out the tab that keeps the pin from backing out so that they click into place. The female slides are a bit different from stock so if you do need to replace that side of the connection you'll need to cut a crimp on new ends.
