Default 82 FXWG Terminal block issue

I have an issue with my quick connect terminal block under my seat. I can't get the original part anywhere because everyone is out of stock. It is the Volt Tech quick connect wiring terminal block part number is 32-9246. The problem I am having is that the cable for my start button is vibrating loose. I can put on a new terminal which I will probably do but my block is so old and corroded that I need a new one. Has anyone replaced this block with a newer style? If so which one did you use?

The Manual Store and CNC Cycles both list as having one in stock.

CNC Cycle says back order and I am confused on the Manual Store, all they sell is manuals?

Ignore that link. Said in stock until I went to the actual site with the link.

Crossbones - those connectors are very specific in design. I learned that the other day when replacing a tailight harness. If you don't have that exact "crimp on end" terminal, they will not go into the block deep enough to make good contact and stay in place. Check them carefully.

I bought a bag of them on amazon cheap, they're the next size down from a standard blade terminal.

I can't imagine it's so far gone that it can't be cleaned up.

I got my "basket" 82 FXWG and there was no block. I decided to go with this Motogadget mo.Unit Blue Digital Control & Fuse Box | Revival – Revival Cycles

Preliminary checks are good. (I'm still building the bike).

Where did you mount that? On my bike its tough just to get the stock block into the cramped space.
