[simpits-tech] Adapter Boxes

[Brian Sikkema]

General aviation jacks are no problem, I've already got a source for those. 
I'm talking military here, whole nother animal, and no luck so far finding 
parts, other than this crew chief who is sending me ONE to make him a box...

Brian,
I don't know how many jacks your looking for (and not sure what type, some
headset's have two cords [civ I think] and others have one cord [Mil I
think]) but what I did was to go to the local Aviation shop at my nearest
airport and pick up one jack for each plug.  It might be worth a try.  They
gave them to me for free.

Mark
