Plastic tang on coil pack snapped off.

I slid that red clip out of the coil pack wire connector and one of the tangs snapped off the coil pack. Anybody else had problems with the coil pack connector ?

I drilled a very small hole thru the top of connector about a 3/16 from the end. Then put a short #4 sheet metal screw so that it hits the coil pack and locks into it. It doesn't go into the coil pack but act like a set screw and locks against it.

Damn plastic tangs always snap off. There isn't any tension on this connector just making sure it doesn't disconnect.
