JCW Airbox Fitting

Picked up a bargain jcw airbox/filter with only 500 miles on this morning courtesy of Roland at GTT. Fitted it this afternoon after much swearing at the simple part of connecting the vaccum hoses and all seems well. I haven't been for a spin yet as we're in the midst of Bank Holiday muppet traffic but will do in an hour or so. Just running on the drive I surprised at the difference in sound from the standard mcs filter and love the exhaust popping I get now

At the moment I haven't wired up the flap/motor but I have a question, Roland gave me his very detailed instructions and I've got the official MINI doc as well. The earth and yellow wire to the ecu are easy enough. but the red one that runs to the fuse box needs connecting to PIN 8 in the fusebox.

This wire has no pin/connector being second hand, whats the best way of connecting it?

I wouldnt bother with the flap tbh its more trouble than its worth, pull out the metal bit from the flap itself and itll stay open so it gets max air all the time
