Help finding a part

I want to build a wire extension for my gauge relocation that is plug and play, I would like to avoid cut and splicing if possible. Can anyone help point me to where I can get a female plug that I could plug the stock gauge plug into? I am pretty sure the stock harness male plug PN is 72130-04. I just don't know where to cross reference and find a plug I can plug that into. Thanks for any help you can provide.

If this is the connector https://www.hdforums.com/forum/ignit...connector.html
It is a Metri-Pack 150 sealed. I believe it is a 12 way (12 connections)?

Good chance of finding one here https://theelectricaldepot.com/weath...ca1f871becc64f

I am looking for a female (maybe the male, based on the connectors in the link you sent) receiver that I can plug that into and build a harness extension with. I will check the second link you sent, thanks for that.

Thanks, I'll check it out too. I didn't find anything on that first site you suggested so I sent them an email with a pic of the connector to see if they can help any. Now to check out this link.

Since there are only 8 wires going into the 12-pin connector, I guess I could always de-pin it and re-pin into a 8-pin connector then use the extension and pin it into the stock 12-pin connector. Then I would just need to find a 8-pin that used the same pin set. as the stock connector.
