I'm troubleshooting / attempting a patch for an autopilot issue in the new -10.
I've made a temporary cable that splits the output from the 430W to the EFIS and the autopilot. Unfortunately, the current wiring was not done well, and there is little to no slack in the existing cable. The current connector is secured with screws into the back of the radio stack, and appears to have small nuts on the back of it:
The connector I used for the cable is the same brand, but doesn't have any nuts or threads:
Any ideas on what I can use to secure the new d-sub connector into the back of the radio stack? Is there a d-sub connector that has the threaded inserts built in?
Thanks in advance.
