I mean if you just want to connect it you can run wires through the holes, spin em, and electrical tape it off.....but that runs the risk of shorting if you pull the wires wrong on accident...but it will work.

Could turn that tilted one vertical with needle nose pliers. Could snap off I suppose. Once vertical, you could use an old computer power cable.

yea and if it goes loose for a moment and creates a spark even on going through correctly, a spark is a much much higher power than regular connection and could cause a burn through the enameled wire that makes up half of the motor....

Hell, you could just cut a cord and stuff them in the ends.....lol! I mean if safety isn't a big issue.

and yeah shrink tube and some solder would work as well.
