Ok, it doesn’t charge anything but it is the electrical connector I just turned. Along with some photos of the connector on Neils suit for comparison.ELconnector Elec3 Neils connector Second shot Again One more
I have a small piece of circuit board I cut to go inside. As soon as I find some suitable "pins" to add I will mount it in the end.

Sorry for the enormus photos. The editor is not working on this site today. I am sure they are working on it.

Update: I thinned the retaining ring and drilled for the attachment screws.

I have been working with my new lathe, and thought I’d show you some of the progress on my prototype gas connector. (in this case, the multi-water connecotor) So with out further delay… the pictures: Multih20

Lots of metal shavings

November 2nd, 2008 alexylenov No comments

I have wanted to try my hand at turning some LS fittings with a lathe for quite some time now. Well Christmas came a little early this year, I got a small metal late. So as I start my fourth (or is it fifth?) suit, I begin by turning in aluminum, the LS or Gas connectors. I started small with the UDC valve connector and moved on to the Multiple Water connector. Neither is complete yet, but here are some progress photos:
