Subject: More hardware grief

In his enthusiasm to play Snapper, my son has pulled out two of the wires
from the black plug which plugs into the Beeb and supplies power to the
3.5" Cumana floppy drive.  In removing the pins from the plug (so I can
reconnect the wires) I have broken one of the pins.  Also, I don't know
which wire goes where.

Looking from the back of the floppy drive, the wire on the leftmost pin on
the connector goes to the pin marked 4 at the Beeb end.  The wires coming
from the 2nd and 4th pins (the 3rd has no connection) are the ones which
have come adrift, and I think they go to pins 1 and 3 at the Beeb end -
but which way round?

I'm trying to bodge together a replacement for the broken pin, but failing
that, does anyone know where I can buy either just a new pin, or a new
complete plug , or even a complete cable?
