Just been in the workshop and stripped two of the military plugs down as in the pic above, one from RS ? with correct female insulated chassis plug and one of the above from Ebay.

Idea was to see how easy if possible, they could have the guts swapped over, yes they can do but it takes 3/4 of an hour and you make a right mess getting wire circlips out that were never designed to be removed. So unless you can get these female chassis type that's a non runner on time alone. Certainly don't fancy taking a week off work to do 100

So the question is what other than XLR's are available in 4 and 6 pins Female Chassis mount and good for 8 amps ?
