Hi,

Does anyone have spare 12 pin male or female NATO trailer plugs/receptacles sitting around unused that they'd be happy to part with? Damaged or poor condition is fine.

I'm trying to make two adapters:
1) 12 pin female receiver to 7 pin female plug for connecting Sankey trailer to a civy tow vehicle
2) 7 pin male receiver to 12 pin male plug for connecting a civy trailer to an ex-mod defender

I considered splicing civilian plugs in parallel to the NATO (or replacing the 12 pin system entirely), but my immediate family has multiple ex-mod defenders/sankey trailers and making one set of each of these adapters seems to be the preferred solution than changing all the trucks/trailers and has the bonus of keeping the stock setup.

Cheers,
Aaron

I would talk to Ivor.  If you don't know him, you want to.

I'm new to the club and don't know Ivor.  What's his username on here?
