The link trainer has two female plug sockets mounted within a plate on t he side of the machine. To start changing connectors I would have to make a new mounting plate a nd desolder 40 22 ga. wires then solder them back into the new connectors. I would have to do the sa me to the 20 wires that are part of the flight recorder. Yes, these are pretty old connectors. They were used on the trainer wh en they were built in 72.

I could, in fact, make you any new flat-plate(s) properly punched, in a few minutes. I wouldn't use solder connectors for so many wires. I've probably got what you need in crimped housings and pins to do the job. Got a tool I could loan you too.

Larry Larry, Is this what you are looking for? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-AMP-200345-2-CONNETOR-/120639804377?hash=item 1c16b153d9:m:myGSszIm7UkWRCalmEXB-PA Roger ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:25:48 AM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Newbie Wiring Questions From: Lyle Peterson Larry, Would the pins in the existing connectors fit in a new 26 pin or 25 pin body. If they would that would eliminate the soldering or crimping. Just move the pins with the wires attached to the new body. Just a thought and probably not a very good one at that.
