An thanks Paul yes its gonna get intresting soon as im about to start on the S/S an the eletrics as tomorrow i will be fittin in the HULL / JOINT the 44 pins electric plug.Im usein such a big plug as when on my NORFOLK build I found I came up short on some wires with only a 25 pins an had to reroute the wires so this time im not takein any chance as I really don't know how many wires i'll need so more the merrier but I think 44pins will be enough (I hope )

Nxt pic is the main eletrics plug to fit in the hull joint with wires all soldered on an built in ready for placement in H/J 
AN Placed in place to see how they fit
SORRY GUYS ABOUT THE TREBLE PICS BUT IT WONT LET ME DELETE DOWN TO JUST ONE PIC
Now in the above pics the plugs were not glued but when I did glue them disaster struck somehow murphys law was present :sad:an the male mains ele plug went off centre by half a mm an the plugs would not meet up so no hull joining so had to sit down an have a think what I was gonna do to put it right bein glueded in they was like rock settin so after a ponder I drilled the male right out an reset it an thank goodness it all worked out ok 
an rear plug 
nxt the 44 pin electric plugs an these will carry all the low power eletrics eg. for servos an lights an other gadgets that I have not thought of yet until I look through the electronics components book an if my maths are correct there will be 88 wires to solder to the plugs boy I think I need a new soldering iron lol
an top view to see how they connect up
