 Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:52 am Post subject: Mounting a d-sub connector to a bulkhead as a pass-through |
 |
|
I will be using a d-sub connector on my removable rear Infinity Stick Grip. One of the connectors will be secured to the covering I will be fabricating to close off the floor opening around the aft stick. My problem is that I am not familiar with a means of securing one connector in this panel and yet still be able to screw in the other half of the connection onto the panel mounted connector. Any suggestions and sources for the means of accomplishing this task?
Thanks,
Jack

Jack;
I saw a system kinda sorta like you describe, What this person did was to cut the stick very close to the bottom of the stick just above the mount – removing the stick made it much easier to get in the back seat on a tandem. The stick control cables hung below the stick when the stick had been removed. At this point the pilot simply disconnects the two stick parts. For reconnecting, the pilot would pull the excess cable with the connector on it out of the stick top and bottom parts. The cables were then connected via the method normally used to reconnect circular connectors and set the upper stick part on top of the bottom stick part, which was all held together by a quick connect clip passing between the upper and lower part of the stick, For those of you still following this, the answer to the question you are ready to ask is the pilot welded a short collar on the bottom part of the stick part with a ¼” hole through the collar and correspondingly to the bottom end of the upper part of the stick. With the quick disconnect connector and the quick release pin (from Summit Racing), she was able to reconnect the rear stick with ailerons, flaps, radio, trim, and radio freq select. Worked great. The two cable connectors, when connected with their corresponding wires, were all tucked away inside the stick completely out of the way. HTH and is a little more clear than mud.
