Sourcing an antenna plug

Reluctant to start cutting into my R129's wiring harness when replacing the OEM powered antenna with an aftermarket sort-of equivalent, I've made the new aerial work by pushing the soldered ends of the new aerial's wires into the car's antenna power socket. It works, they're fairly solidly inserted but clearly that's not an ideal permanent solution.

What I'd like to find is the plug that fits the car's four-pin socket. Does anyone know where I might find one?

Thank you.

Would small male lucar connectors be a better fit into the socket
ie like this but a smaller version (can't remember the sizes of the smaller ones,4.8mm??) and there is a smaller one still(edit 2.8mm)


you might struggle to find a matching plug as presumably the black connector plugs into the socket on the back of the radio
