[R-390] Re: Question - 9 Pin Plug

[Biddle, Richard]

Sneaky method number two also works for other types of connectors:

Take some 1/4" or 1/2" thick Plexiglas sheet.  Cut to the desired shape.  I
use a band saw or Dremel-Tool depending on how big the connector needs to
be.  

Heat up an old tube base just warm enough to make a mark on the Plexiglas.
A little glue holds the pins in place.  As far as a cover goes, there are
vinyl dust covers for different size connectors or plastic covers for pipe
that will fit. 

Depending on the size of connector required, the pins used for the DB style
computer connectors make a pretty good fit and they can be male or female.

I have also used this to make new inserts for Cannon connectors.
