I lack the pigtail, all I have is a 2 inch male plastic connector, the type that self seals, it is still a good 6-8 inches away from the OPS.

I took a picture but the baby stole the SD card reader. Will upload tomorrow.

Keeping your post in mind I tried one of my female connectors leftover from the radio stuff (flat blade to flat socket) on the OPS and it would not slip on, unless I need to make it wider!

You should be able to find a connector at a parts store or a wrecker. Glad I could help.

Unfortunately none of the junk yards within say 100 miles of here have anything from the 80's! I'll try the parts store, or maybe just wrap some wire around it.

For now I managed to fix it by sticking a blade connector on it. Thanks everyone for your tips!
