Default Broken sensor wire lead

Hi Steve, + others

I have a fairly new Novak 7.5 light and the orange sensor wire has just pulled out of the plug when i was taking it out of the speedy, and theres no way to get it re-attached.

I have another old novak motor which is broken, and i wondered if i can swap the rear endbell + its sensor lead over to the 7.5 to solve the problem. Can this be done? I took off the 3 screws from the rear endbell, and found that the black plastic cover comes off, but seems that the rest of it is attached firmly, including the sensor lead. Am i right in assuming that these parts can be removed?

Otherwise what are my options..? Apart from tossing in the bin, the only thing i can think of is to splice and solder a new plug onto the sensor wires...

I live in Aust so sending in for repairs is probably the same cost as buying a new 1...
