Default Wing Wiring Connectors

Hey Guys,

Been trying to come up with something for this P47's wing wiring harness. I wanted to use crimped vs solder connectors but I didn't want to have those pigtails of loose wires and connectors flopping around on my wings when they were being stored or being inserted into their wing bags. I have used the Ashlok connectors for sometime and have learned to trust them. I really like the locking feature; secure but easy to use. So I began thinking about somehow mounting the Ashlok connectors to the wings. Instead, I came up with an aluminum housing that sandwiches the female portion of the Ashlok connector and holds it in place. In between the connectors I drilled a hole for the single retract extension air line I need in each wing.

Anyway I like the way it turned out so I thought I'd share a couple of pics:
