WELL Hi John no they are as rare as hens teeth but i got lucky on mayhem forum a freind saw what i was after an he found them on ebay for me as i looked on there an i could not find them but m8 dave struck lucky an he found just what i wanted so ive ordered some should be here about dec 11th an hopefully that 44 pins plug will be here as well then i can set about putting the wireing all to rights again

I'm sat here with my gast truly flabbered! Closest I've ever come to doing anything like this was re-wiring a motorcycle, (but cheated, as I'd got the old harness!) or when re-wiring the office with new network cabling.
At least you found the fault early enough to sort it with minimal aggro, and you've found your terminals that you prefer.
Hat well and truly doffed to your mastery Chris!

HI Gerry well its great to hear your gast is well an trully flabbered lol an yes the wirein as been PITA but im back on track for the bow section anyway useing my old plugs ive just jury rigged all the main bridge section so every thing works on that from R/C T/X so im pleased an tomorrow i will wire it in better but first some pics here the PDB board an i was brickin it when i turned it on in case of a prob as this was fairly costly unit but it all lit up just how its suppoced too phew as this unit powers all the lights in the bridge S/S

[boatman]

AN New plug all fitted on an it comes apart just how it should do
