Well, keep in mind that the original avionics racks and connectors are
all still here...aside from the avionics boxes themselves, I already
have EVERYTHING. :) There are a few round Canon connectors as part of
the harness going to the nose, but most of the old avionics were
slide-in style that used what appears to be a fairly standard
connection (looks kinda like two giant Ds back to back, rotated on their
side). So far, everything I have collected looks as though it will just
slide right into my existing rack/connector assembly. It will be nice
to have most (or all) of my interface connections through the original
wiring harness.
