13th Jan 2024 UPDATE :- I received the order, but despite the eBay page showing the white plastic connector surrounds, the supplier only sent the metal crimp pins. I contacted the supplier who simply said I needed to place a 2nd order for the rest of it. Given the page was misleading, I would have thought they would send them FOC, but no joy. I wont be pursuing this any further.......
