Thanks very much for your patience in working through this issue with me. I am about to place an order and something occurred to me - the connectors on the right-hand side appear to be slightly smaller than the other's (0.156"). When I resoldered the pins - they were much closer to each other than the 0.156s. Don't want to place a second order and have to wait for parts again if I can help it - do you perhaps know what size the different pins are?

I have attached pics - yellow arrow highlights the smaller pinned connector, and you can also get an overall view of the board and its condition. Note - this was as found, pre-resolder job. Also added a pic of the battery - do I need to remove this? I have read that it should be removed, but this one seems to be in good condition and looks to have been replaced since the original was fitted.

Assuming the connector pins are 0.156", you should be able to find everything on this page.

Down the bottom of that page there are 0.156" trifurcon crimp terminals.  These are the pins that you need.

If you have something small enough to push into the bottom or flat side of the pins in the individual pin holes from the front of the connector to unlatch the existing pins you can pull them out and then cut them off as close to the pin as possible.  There typically isn't much spare length of the wires.  It will save you a heap of angst and time if you have a crimping tool as well.  the wires don't need to be soldered into the pins.
