If you haven’t plunked down $200 or more yet, just by a replacement J1772 connector for around $100. You shouldn’t need to open the clipper creek unit or replace the cable if you didn’t damage them. I replaced the old 1990’s paddle connector on my AVCON and now use a modern J1772 style connector.
Here’s the one I use: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electric-Vehicle-Plug-J1772-Compliant-Rated-70A-/261119425812?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_100&hash=item3ccbee3d14&vxp=mtr
There’s a good webpage that goes thru step-by-step instructions how to attach one of these:

It works fine---though be sure not to accidentally crimp any wires between the proximity microswitch and the housing…I did that and the switch was stuck in one state, which with the earlier PCU software resulted in my charger not starting the charge…took me awhile to discover this since I suspected everything but the insides of the connector…
You’ll need one of those triangular tip tools to install the screws…
