Chrysler Avenger dash board plugs

Helping a son with with electrical issues on his 1980 Avenger & had to rebuild most of the copper traces on the instrument cluster.
Most of them had lifted off the backing & some had been folded over.
Had to solder 2 fractures.

Problem now is that the main plugs are also stuffed from a previous brutal owner at some stage

Anybody in Hamilton district know where I can source a pair of replacement plugs that we can splice in

There is only a few wires solder wires onto tracks and put a utilux loom plug on there crimp one on the other end glue wires down with epoxy

LOL just a few more then a couple on this model
Theres 2 plugs with about 8 wires on each.
Both plugs have been busted & practically fell off when we removed the dash

This dash is apparently unique to the Chrysler Avenger because it's the full 6 instrument cluster.

No idea if it was used on any other models but that info could be very useful.

you can get 8 way utilux connectors.

Mmm oh ok cool.
They look like larger versions of the cable connectors from XT 1980's floppy drives etc
