Finished Socket

Thats posh Mike, Ill have to get something like that for mine, better than a grommet

After fitting socket which is araldited as well as backnut you have to grind a large flat on top of socket body to get clearance and attach wire`s on top of circuitboard,a right fiddly job!

Mike, your mod has shamed me into tidying mine up a bit so I bought a Din plug & socket like yours Ill be fitting it shortly, thanks for the great idea.

Phil i have added a spring to the cable to help support weight,backnut has also got to have a section removed to be able to fit in case,will post more details if it will help you,

Cheers Mike. Ive just finished mine. It's a bit of a squeeze but I got it sorted, looks much more professional, thanks for the idea. I araldited my chassis plug in place as there just wasnt the room for the nut also the electronics shop only had 4 pole connectors in minimum so I used one of those. That meant I couldnt take as much meat off the chassis plug back for the circuit board clearance. Managed it in the end though. Thanks again

Hi Phil sorry not back to you quicker good ol bt! Glad it worked out ok.Got a bargain at the local market yesterday a manfrotto 161 tripod with a 116 video head for £25 its huge,one snapped bolt to get out of head,but otherwise good condition.

Cheers
