If you just need the connector, RS components sell it in bits (I think
these are the
right stock numbers, but check on the RS web site) :

484-903 or 220-0094 for the shell

311-5694 or 311-5701 for the contact depending on which gender it is.

But then you need a crimp tool for the outer screen on the contact. And
a contact extractor tool. Which will put the price up to several hundred
pounds (I am trying to find a way round this for a connector on a piece of
HP test gear).
