 |
|
I’ve been slowly working on Bob Nuckolls’ design for the ground power plug made out of the Cole-Hersey Piper-style plug/socket. I couldn’t get the insulating button out with pliers or other methods so I figured I’d try to be careful as I heated up the rear screw for solder. Of course, it got too hot and melted. I emailed Cole-Hersey (CH) on the website and got a message to call local dealers. Dealers, come to find out, don’t carry little parts, just the end item.
I finally talked to someone at CH who had to go down to the assembly line/warehouse to find the little buttons, then sent me four for free when I only requested one that I would pay for, and who was also kind enough to write the part number on the little baggie when she sent them to me. Awesome job at customer service. If anyone else has had this problem, before you go buy a new plug or find a decades-old salvage part, call CH up and ask for part number 11055-25.

You will probably need the MALE connector with you for the Piper style GPU plug. Been flying GA and Corporate for over 40 years and don't recall ever seeing a GPU at FBO with Piper type plug. We installed the "UNIVERSAL" style receptacle in or RV & will carry the male jumper plug in the A/C.

Good luck.

Yeah, I bought the male end as well and will adapt it to a set of jumper cables for the emergency kit in the plane.

By "universal" I gather you mean the receptacle that mates with the AN2551 plug as sold here: Since my 177RG has the "universal" receptacle, a few years ago I ordered the wooden AN2551 plug from Aircraft Spruce (~$30) and attached it to a chepo set of jumper cables(~$10). The Piper style Plug & receptacle is even cheaper at $20 and $16 respectively. The nice thing about the AN2551 "universal" style is that it has built in protection from polarity reversal. I'm not sure how the Piper sytle accomplishes this, if at all. The Plug-N-Jump ($70 or $75)is nice but you still require cables to attach to it. >You will probably need the MALE connector with you for the Piper >style GPU plug.

OR USE THE FBO'S GPU WHICH IS A UNIVERSAL STYLE. THE MALE PLUG WOULD COME IN HANDY IF U HAD TO USE A BATTERY AND CABLES.

The spruce AN2551 plug doesn't some with a cover. Where are folks mounting these? Photos?
Thanks for replies in advance.
