Cheers,



                I'm not sure the 912 doesn't have the same 914 dynamo

regulator, but (914) I'm having the d(at)#$%^st



time attaching bottom plug with the plethora of "quick-connect" females

imbedded to receive the male counterparts. It seems there's too much play in

the design to enable every male to join inside.



                If you had this symptom as well, perhaps you have a

favourite insertion method to overcome the slop? If that's the case, would

you kindly share what subterfuge you use? It might just save me one of

hundreds of provoking delays I seem to enjoy.



Please,



Ferg

 The 912/914 are the same regulator and plug.  I too have gotten fed up  with the plug from time to time.  

 I take the time to put nutplates on the back of the fire wall for the  regulator and you will find that rolling on the plug in your hand is far  easier.  Once it is trained, it is not so bad.  Of course  disconnecting is even more fun.  I did not put the Rotax all in one  connector on last time.  I just plug them in one at a time.  Of course  since gravity works 24/7, you must wire tie the bundle so it holds pressure to  keep the pins from disconnecting under G if you mount the regulator  vertical.  Highly unlikely but possible.

Bud:

Thanks for the advice. Two good points - I too realised that it's easier to insert with the plug and socket in the hand, but the b$%^&r still won't align. and at the same time the flathead machine bolts loosened and clattered to the cockpit floor and bounced into the underseat locker.....like most of my events. 

I believe I will follow your suggestion and insert the fast-ons singly without the big plug - and perhaps rotate the regulator. It is cooled by a small NACA dut built into the cowling roof but needs protection in case of rain enroute I suppose. I guess I could smother the contacts with ShoeGoo and cut them free later on if needed.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Bud's Law:  All loose nuts and bolts always fall under the bench, in  the most inaccessible  part of the flight controls or instrument panel, or  under that slight gap in the cockpit module you didn't fill or leave access  to.

  

 As for the plug, argh.
