[simpits-tech] Wiring harness layout board...

[cyplesma at aol.com]

 yeaup, while in the AF, one shop I worked in that dealt with those those type of connectors, we had a big suit case in the shop. It was pretty cool two crimpers that had adapters that fit in them to crimp the right pin on the right size wire with the right pressure. but man what a cost that case was. it was cheaper then the 10,000 hammer, but yeah when it came time to replace the stock we used (pins) it was expensive, even for military standards.

There are ones with more than that. :)  The harness layout plot that I'm 
going to do will only show an outline of the harness.  I'm not going to 
detail the individual pins.

Right now I'm trying to get a few things cleaned up in the shop so I can 
finish unpacking boxes that hold components.

I had draw up schematics for both side consoles, but 90% of that work is 
useless now that the number of panels I have to scratch build has gone 
from "most" to fewer than 8.

I did a bit of price shopping last night, looking for pins & sockets that 
will fit the various cannon plugs I've got.  I wanted to put all new wire 
in the plugs instead of splicing into the original wire.  I was utterly 
stunned.  The prices are anywhere between .89c and $1.49 PER pin or 
socket.  I've got a lot of lap splices in my future. :(
