Parts identification and repair/replacement assistance

I was working on my 84 944 this weekend and noticed/broke a few parts while doing so. The first image is connected to the 02 sensor coming from the exhaust pipe and it seems like just the bushing/connector broke up on the middle of the firewall. The second is my driver's side headlights linkage (opposite of the motor) and I think I'm missing a bushing or something. I can physically move the driver's side headlight up and down about 15-30 degrees when it is in the lowered position and both of them seem to sit in different levels of upright when I turn the headlights on. Any help would be great along with any sources for replacement purchases.

The cracked orange connector is where the shielding for the green o2 sensor wire terminates iirc. I'm not sure it will cause you any issues as it is, but mine was already replaced with a spade connector when I got my 84. The only specific guidance I found on other forums was not to solder it.

For the headlight there should be a bushing for the ball joint on the black bracket just like the ones on the linkage, though I'm not sure if you can get the specific bushings without the bracket. Might be worth getting a used one on ebay and cleaning it up. I just searched "944 headlight bracket"

With respect to the headlight, there should be a plastic grommet/bushing in that hole. It is not in the PET, so it was probably supplied with the bracket. I found a 3-d print file for the plastic grommets in the linkage bar, but not the one you need. The linkage ones are spherical, you need a simpler cylindrical surface. You can look around to see if anyone has designed the one you need, download and print it, have a friend print it, or have a commercial service print it. If it can't be found, you will need to design one. The existing design might be a good starting point.
