I have an ECU that has 2 x corroded pins that have broken clean off. It's from a jet ski and a new ECU isn't an option. At some stage sea water must have leaked past the seals on the plug and the rest is history
The ECU is a hard plastic enclosure and it's filled with a high density rubber potting agent of some kind so I really don't fancy my chances of being able to open it up without damaging it.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on how I can repair the pins. They've broken off flush with the back of the socket so there's nothing protruding that I can solder to. My best plan was to take it to a watch maker and see if he could drill and thread the broken pins and screw on an extension pin but I think this would be a long shot.
This is what the socket would look like in good condition

The ECU is potted in solid rubber.
