There are d-subs with built in jackscrews, but those with crimped / insertable connectors are special order with lengthy lead times on all the sites I've seen (digikey, etc).
My understanding is Garmin used to use brackets like this:
but they are no longer available (or hard to find on ebay).
Again, my knowledge of this is somewhat limited, and this is just based on what I've found with online searches.

Do a search or call you local Garmin dealer, or SteinAir and see if they might have one laying around. You also will need the two screws to hold in place. The whole kit would cost you an arm and leg, and maybe your first born.
If you send me an email at hr2plt@yahoo.com, I will send you a picture of all the part numbers you would need.
Good luck.

Brian-
Thanks for the info and part numbers - searching those led me to the install manual which shows the dsub connector and associated parts.
Unfortunately, the current install is just the dsub connector. No backshell, no nutplate. Just wires.
I spoke with Steinair last week, they don't have any of the stuff around.
I'm gonna try the nutplate I linked above as a temporary fix, long term solution is a complete gutting and redo of the panel.
Appreciate all the responses.

Just thinking out loud...is there any reason you couldn't use that nutplate thingie that you found on the internet, along with just a regular backshell sans the knurled knobs/screws, to hold it in place?
I'd try just using any backshell and its little internal clamp for strain relief, and see if it would work with the nutplate(s). Obviously, the idea is to secure it from inside the radio tray with flush screws to avoid interference with the body of the 430W itself.

Stein doesn't stock this part. I recently went through the same ordeal. I was quoted anywhere from $40-$80 for the Garmin part. I order one off Newark Electronics web page. it worked just fine. I think I paid like $12 for the connector.

Bob-
Do you have a link? I looked at the Newark web site but can't find the part.
Thanks
Thomas

No, but I have a copy of my invoice on my phone. The db-78 high density connector is 42k6697 and costs $7.64. Once you locate this part, finding the other accessories should be fairly simple.
You can lookup the part at Newark.com
I used this part on my GTN-650. Worked perfectly.

I ran into this problem (missing custom nutplate for backshell per the image from TShort) when I was building my bird.
After doing the things already noted (Stein et al) I wound up using some scotchweld epoxy to glue a pair of 4-40 nylocs to the ears of the relevant backshell.
One reason for choosing this solution was that I had what I needed in house.
It has worked fine so far.
BTW... Its nice to see some commercial items in the links above that could work for others in the same predicament.
