New Problem, Wiring!

In the midst of putting my fuel leak project back together I have just discovered that I have a burnt connector on my main wiring harness to the valve cover gasket. Can you get a new plug end for the main harness or do you have to replace the whole harness? I have recently replaced all of the glow plugs with factory IH ones and Replaced the UVC harnesses last year. Looks like my project isn't over yet.

So, I found the problem. It turns out the valve cover gasket shorted out on one of the glowplug pins and screwed up everything in that connector. I got the new plug kit from IH and put on a spare valve cover gasket I had around the shop. Runs great. Thanks for all the help.
