Hi all,

Over in [my other thread](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/haslab-two-in-the-box-trap-pke-customisation/219503) I’m documenting customising my Haslab Two in the Box. I’m going for a more GB1/1984 accurate look. It’s early days, but I don’t know as much about traps as I do packs and wands, so I’m wondering if some of the more experienced builders on here could please help me out with a few questions I have?

First up is the pedal, and specifically the [ribbon cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) assembly. Am I right in thinking that for a GB1 pedal:

1. The [GBFans Grey Ribbon Cable (26-Pin)](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-parts/grey-ribbon-cable-26-pin) is correct?
2. The [GBFans 26-Pin Trap Pedal Grey Header](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-parts/26-pin-trap-pedal-grey-wire-header) fixes to the pedal body on the left-hand side (when viewing the pedal from the back)?
3. The [GBFans 26-Pin Ribbon Cable Connector](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-parts/26-pin-ribbon-cable-connector) then connects the ribbon cable to the above header?
4. The [GBFans D-Sub Connector Hood](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-parts/d-sub-connector-hood) fixes to the pedal body on the right-hand side?
5. The ribbon cable goes straight into the D-Sub Connector without another connector or adaptor?
6. The D-Sub Connector is black for GB1, not grey?
