All right!  Another Marvin!!!

Check out:  http://www.flightsuits.com/

They have a patch cord that accepts the Mil Type 38 (TP-120) plug and 
the other end can be cut and a plug(s) of your choice soldered on.

Cost is a little steep at $48, but you wont have to mess with your 
helmet.

Go to:  http://www.flightsuits.com/helm_cords.html

The part number is 8381.
