Radiator Fan Temp Sensor - where to get connector

Anyone know where I can get a connector that will mate to the 2-speed radiator fan switch sensor (i.e. the connector that is part of the wiring harness and would mate with the temp sensor)
Previous owner had fitted a single speed sensor and chopped the connector off the wiring harness to fit two spade connectors for the sensor ...
Given the environment they are in, they have unsurprisingly corroded - I've got a new 2-speed temp sensor now so I'd like to put a proper connector back onto the wiring harness (rather than just add some new spades and wrap it all in electrical tape..)

Cheers

I dont know about a new one , but I needed the connector for my reverse light switch and got a used one from wagon build.http://www.wagonbuild.com.
Contacted them through their web site (click on parts@wagonbuild) saying what I wanted. They replied with a link to the part which they had listed on their site for me including a picture of it.
It was cheap , in good condition and the service was good.
I fitted it by soldering the cables that were on it to my loom and protected it with heat shrink tubing.
