I used a female blade connector for those 2 posts on the pump. They were insulated and the insulation kinda made them sit against each other and firmly hold each other in place.


Looks like that, just with a rubbery transparent cover.

edit: I cut the factory pigtail off, btw.

I dont remember cutting any holes.

I ran mine for 3 or 4 years after doing that so I guess its safe, lol. There's obviously no spark in a solid connection, so no fire igniter.

Chances are someone may make an adapter kit but I had just bought the pump itself and nothing else.
