[Milsurplus] NOS ARR-15 / ARC-2 connectors

[Robert Meadows]

I have located the source of pins, with about 48 enroute for checking and if all goes well the proper drawing for the entire connector.
My supplier has requested anonymity for present until the pins are checked and evaluated.  I do hope that complete working connectors can be fabricated in near future.

Hi Robert
What is the source of your insert pins and by chance did you take any 
pin measurements that you could share with us.
