Here's a quick one, the Burndy connectors as used on T4, who knows what model they are, and more to the point where can they be purchased from.
I think this may be a one for Colin at BBS, I bet he knows ! :thumb: :thumb:

I bet he does too

But he won't be telling you :lol:
As you may know, the original manufacturer went bust long ago and we bought up a reasonable supply just before

In order to produce a range of replacement T4 leads ourselves. :thumb:
what do you need / want, i may be able to help :pray:

Hi Colin, I am after making up a DTC0065A, and a DTC0062B, I have the J1962 end, but need a couple of the burndy plug shells, and connector pins, I would settle for the pins, and reuse some old shell housings I have, from dead DTC008a's I have kicking about. PM me with price & availability :D :D
Cheers
Brian. :dance:

It seems someone else had the idea to buy up when possible.

Indeed therefore it seems you are sorted.

Evening Colin, it would appear not quite what I expected, the connector shells are fab, the machined, gold plated contact pins are fab, however the connector backshells/strain relief, are in one word pants! I'll post ups some pics to show you what I mean.

My "customised" extra long lead for use with TestBook 1, approx 1 metre, so the VCSI brick can be plugged directly into the back of the machine, leaving a sensible length to reach the diagnostic connector on the machine.

This clearly shows the "Standard" backshell/strain relief, as supplied by the manufacturers



Note the use of gold plated machined contacts in my replacement DTC0064A

Lastly, my new DTC0064A

But what I really want, is to be able to use the spiral top glands, as per original, especially as I want to manufacture a shorter version of DTC4007B, so I'm not lugging around an unnecessary, 5 metre extension cable around in my laptop bag, but the OE backshells are simply not up to the job of a 12 core screened cable!.
Spiral top glands aren't the issue here, but the female to female adaptor used to connect the plug to the gland!
Any sensible suggestions on a postcard please. :lol:
