First post, newb and not a very handy person!
I have a cheap DIY ebit kit I bought from Amazon.
Here is the KIT: https://www.amazon.com/Aosom-Electric-Battery-Powered-Conversion/dp/B00GIXZKP8
Had a bike store put it on a donor bike for me and create a sla battery (4 12v 12ah in series) pack for me. Came out great, super fun bike.
After about 4 months the thumb trigger type throttle started to be hit ormiss unresponsive, eventually completely doesn't work any more. Power indicator lights work, on off work, but no throttle propulsion.
I disassembled the throttle and found (what I think is the problem). Firsts of all a really cheap throttle A few wires that were poorly soldered seem to have broke off. I have a pic of my findings,
Here is a pic, the three wires on the left circled, were connected toward the small red boxed area in the image. One or two were broken, i broke the last one

So at this point I looked around ebay and I think I found the same kind of throttle,
I will post a few more pics of my broken first,

Here is a link to the ebay potential replacement, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ebike-Thumb...168316?hash=item1ec28ef7bc:g:MnIAAOSwhlZYuGaF
My main question due to lack of experience, is can I use the black connectors that currently connect the broken trigger and controller or do I have to splice wires somehow. Second, what are these connectors called, where can I get them?? Again sorry I am a total newb.
Here are the connectors I talk about, first the one from the currently broken throttle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dsae087k4awch5/2017-03-05 15.18.25.jpg?dl=0
The female end is from the throttle, the mail end is from the controller, here is a few more pics.

So, to get to the point,
1) I think I found a good throttle replacement, what do you think?
2) How to I attach this potential replacement so I can use my existing connector from the controller. Can I reuse the connectors? Buy them? Splice??
Thanks for your help,

**** EDIT **** I was looking around tonight, found what I think is the exact one, with the same connector even, any ideas on where I can get this without ordering from alibaba?
