Hi,
I've been searching through a bunch of electrical catalogues, but have still not managed to track down a supplier of the electrical pins used in instrument clusters (see image).  Anybody know who makes them or where to get them?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
 
I'm after new pins because the little locating tags (as arrowed in the photo) have mostly broken off and so the pins don't sit in their receptacles properly, and occasionally come loose.  If or when I ever find new ones, I'll post details.

Here's the reply I got from Vehicle Wiring Products:
 
"Ford is a bit of a tricky area, they seem to manufacture their own parts and
don't release them onto the general market.  I am afraid you would more than likely have to find a Ford dealer.  Sorry we cannot help you on this occasion."
 
So my next stop is a Ford dealer, and I expect to cause much mirth and merriment on the part of the staff at the spare parts counter when I ask about them.

Give them Hell. They deserve it! OR
If you have a Airport(hanger)workshop near, they foam at the mouth to help with electronic crap like that.
