Default Source for db25 shell for locking pins on a Becker 4201?

Thanks for the comments & presentation link. I didn't see the shell on W&W and I still can't find it on Paul's site.
But no problem... I have 2 coming in the mail from NJ.

Since you mentioned it (on the slide), know of a source for the "Filser/Dittel" sliding catch post-style shell?
That's the type used on my archaic AR3201. Maybe I should just buy a 4201.

I just removed the factory screws and bracket, then got two of the inside threaded bolts from an old PC and screwed in. Worked great.


A couple of comments;

- Both Cumulus and Wings & Wheels have the Becker locking shells in stock. Unsure about the other vendors.
- While I am not in love with the Becker latching system, preferring the LXNav "bail" type instead, they both have one advantage over the common screw-in type. Which is you can connect/latch the Becker/Filser/LXNav connectors blindly in our tight instrument panel confines.
- See http://aviation.derosaweb.net/presentations/#wiring (slide 47) for details.
