Starter/main fuse connector melted

So I'm cleaning up the wiring and giving everything a good look over and after having to work a bit to get the connector to the main fuse / starter relay off it was clear why: the plastic on the fuse was melted into a little ball and the connector didn't look much better on the inside.

I assume this was from poor contact in the connector or the fuse holder. Luckily it seems the fuse holder assembly is available and not too bad at $20. However, the connector on the main loom seems like a harder case. I just got a bunch of those Sumitomo connectors from cycleterminal.com, but since this includes the fuse cover it must be a super special part. Anyone have a source for them?
Thanks,
/Patrik

The red solenoid plug you mention is extremely rare.
Rick Oliver has a replacement solenoid and plug which is much more common than the Honda red plug

Well, upon closer inspection it seems the problems aren't limited to that connector. If you enjoy looking at distressed connectors, check out
this post. I think that instead of replacing this and having it go bad again, I'm going to completely upgrade the supply wiring...
