SORRY GUYS ABOUT THE TREBLE PICS BUT IT WONT LET ME DELETE DOWN TO JUST ONE PIC

[boatman]

Now in the above pics the plugs were not glued but when I did glue them disaster struck somehow murphys law was present :sad:an the male mains ele plug went off centre by half a mm an the plugs would not meet up so no hull joining so had to sit down an have a think what I was gonna do to put it right bein glueded in they was like rock settin so after a ponder I drilled the male right out an reset it an thank goodness it all worked out ok

[boatman]

an rear plug

[boatman]

nxt the 44 pin electric plugs an these will carry all the low power eletrics eg. for servos an lights an other gadgets that I have not thought of yet until I look through the electronics components book an if my maths are correct there will be 88 wires to solder to the plugs boy I think I need a new soldering iron lol

[boatman]
