I genuinely interested and a little confused... how was the original connector made-off last time, if not soldered?

Okay, the connector pictured is a little different to the usual chinese jobs that have solder bucket terminals.

Where I'm coming from is that soldering isn't regarded as a particularly vibration-tolerant electrical termination method (crimping is widely regarded as superior). Unless the OP had, perhaps, screw-terminals?
