Bob, etal
I have an ElecIntl MVP-50 engine monitor. The various probes connect to
three Dsub 37 connectors on the box (via a user created harness).
To get the engine prob wires through the firewall I have a few options:
1. Drill a hole, and use a flange and a piece of fire sleeve and a couple
wire ties (quick and cheep)
2. Get a few large Amp/mil-spec bayonet style multi-pin round plugs
(expensive and heavy)
3. Fabricate/find three Dsub 37 bulkhead connectors and use the provided
cable components and a standard Dsub 37-to-37 straight thru cable. Thus:
connect the probes to the provided Dsum37 connectors, connect those to the
dsub37 bulkhead connectors, connect the back side of those to the
dsub37-to-37 straight through cables, connect the other end of the cables to
the engine monitor box (dsub 37). i.e. Seems it would be "clean" to just
use the same style connectors throughout.
Have you ever see a thing such as Dsub37 bulkhead socket? i.e. like a
normal one with bigger flanges. Have you ever seen one that had male pins
on one side and female plugs on the other (straight through)? Ideally it
would be > 1/2" depth in the center to get through the firewall. Or perhaps
a similar gender changer and then I'd find/make a mating cable?
