HorseyGSXR Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Evening Does anyone know where I might get a plug to fit this socket? It is about an inch across. Need to get a plug to fit a flashing beacon to my Shielder. Thanks Antony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Antony, I might have one. I will look later. Are you sure that it is a suitable place to draw from? It could be protected by a relatively weak fuse. I would normally expect to see a two or three pin socket for this purpose. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 The Xmod are usually a good bet although the pricing is sometimes surprisingly high or low and the site is only easy to search if you have an FV or NATO stock number !

HorseyGSXR Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi John the operation manual says that is what or is for. If it does too much I could always get an led beacon. Thanks Iain, looks like you and just up the road from me. Antony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Antony Yes, I am waiting to see the Shielder out and about ! I should be at Foxhall with the 35LK88 defender next month if you are there btw? If you need any Clansman radio cables antennas etc let me know - I have more harness cables and boxes than I need but I dont think I have one of the ones in the picture immediately to hand but will have a rummage next time I am at my barn storage - it looks like a smaller version of the 4 pin boiling vessel connector ?

fv102 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Anthony, What is needed appears to be a MIL-C-5015 connector, possibly a size 14S or 18. The issue you have is that the plug required needs to be in an alternate position as the polarising boss is usually perpendicular to the top two sockets A and D but in your case the boss has been rotated round. (Without knowing which socket the polarising boss is closest to it isn't possible to work out which alternate position this is.) Incidentally the individual pins are tested at 13amps. You can try both Farnell and RS as they both hold a stock of these. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Dear Antony, I do have one but as D says the polarisation of your socket is unusual. I do have a socket with normal polarisation but I am not sure if you want to mess around with your LRU. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseyGSXR Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi Sorry if I am a bit dense on this one, do you mean the little locating tag is off slightly? If so, I am sure I can take apart and turn. Failing that, on the plug I could widen the slot slightly without chance of it being 90 degrees out. Once it is in, am doubt I will be unplugging it each time I park up. Thanks Antony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Antony, PM me your address and I will post it to you. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
