Default Need a pair of bail locking connectors for instrument panel

I broke the small locking tab on the 26-pin Yellow bail connector on the instrument panel harness when replacing all the instrument bulbs. It still locks but I had to secure the locking bail with a dab of black-tak.
Does anyone have a spare yellow and black locking harness connector they would be willing to sell me? It's only the housings I need not the actual multipin connectors.

Edit: I have found something very similar on Mouser - part number 1326362-1 as per attched data sheet.

Close...but not quite. I believe that this is the exact part: 185879-1 TE Connectivity | Mouser

Steve,

It's worth a call to your nearest specialist Jaguar breakers - Eurojag in Darlington.

The 26-pin IP connector is not unique to the XK8 so they are almost certain to have plenty of vehicles with the right one. If they chop it off the end of the harness for you, you can use the housing to fix yours.

Good idea Graham- just sent them an email - in the meantime have ordered a pair from Mouser. I only need them "just in case" but it's making me antsy about taking the instrument panel out again until I have a good pair in the tool box.
