Default used clock spring?

Went to change my steering week and when i went to remove my airbag, I removed the yellow connector on the airbag and the connector broke. My question is should I buy a used clock spring from ebay, a new clock spring or repair my connector? Would love to hear what others think.
Thanks!

It would certainly seem attractive to grab a used one - $50 vs. $250. If you do, be aware there is a difference between manual and tip. Removed correctly, the rotation position should have been also been preserved.

Yep...a used one is just fine.

I've bought a few on ebay when retrofitting a 3 spoke 996 wheel to my 968 and 944.

Post a pic of the broken connector. Might be salvageable.
