Old mate probably trying to get your car written off so he can swipe it.
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Anyone know where to source this part?

So why won't the panel beater track down this part? Are they going to reimburse you for your time and money getting this part, which would be as common as day turns to night?
It sounds very suspicious to me....If the panel shop is making claims like this, I'd be taking the car elsewhere for repairs....

If it was me, I'd either take it elsewhere or get onto the insurance company as @ephect suggested to put a rocket up their coit...Wanting to write a car off for a $300 part (and I think I'm being generous with the pricing) is bulldust...

Try getting onto this guy....He might let you know where he gets his VF Commodore parts from
EDIT: get the insurance company or lazy ass panel beaters to do it...They are getting paid to do the job, not you...

I had that exact thought.
How would that wrought go.
Assessor writes off known valuable cars. Insured customer gets sub par payout. Assessor buys the car for minimal cost. Makes a simple repair and sells at huge profit. Maybe in cahoots with someone who repairs cars.

I think Fu Manchu is right on the money. Looking at that sticker that loom is made Yazaki, small chance it might be from Japan but more likely from Korea. Find the actual connector and jump onto mouser.com. They have anything you could ever need from a stock car. Just fill in a few filters and it’ll narrow the search down. They even have most things in stock and usually send out within a day or 2
