Hey, thought I’d post these as I need a question answered by someone!! So here’s the WIP photo’s. Most parts from gbfans, apart from the project boxes (Maplin), bellows (from an old pedal build - source unknown), tubing, straight connector and banjo (DF). ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/f/dfa87d59dc3b1df7026b6d59ef3b735be104a355.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/8/b/8b4a1e17492552d11639a4a844c598339dee62b3.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/8/e/8eb8158134a333405c9ed7e2c9d38e3fd148651e.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/4/045e8b5c9305959620d30e103c07ac6152322a6a.jpeg) Now, here’s my question… how do you connect the [20 pin Card Edge Connector](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/20-pin-card-edge-connector) to the [D-Sub Connector hood](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/d-sub-connector-hood)? Glue it? Someone please help! lol. I have a new Card Edge Connector on order as I broke the one in the picture! :oops: ---

That connector is not actually designed to fit the D-sub housing so yeah you’ll have to glue it in place…aka fudge it in 🙂 ---

Thanks Colin. I’ll have a go when the new connector arrives! ---

Well, got this finished over the weekend. I messed up when glueing the card edge connector to the D-sub by getting glue on the metal project box. When I tried to wipe it off, it took paint with it. :walterpeck: Oh well, I’ll get round to fixing that sooner or later before adding the decals. In the meantime… ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/6/16db0925a80016ba8c1951ba6006dad6d578094b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/4/24e7fb7a8c65c216179d1cbce295703840b46db1.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/f/bf19b48d4c8804be493eb631094808a174b837b6.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/f/5f6ce228434b9d16c39797126c85ecbe37a31b2e.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/7/07efd36261caacf8acd9322af2158bf03c2d7119.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/8/a813f63845a08056902c2c352a623b01aa4bc374.jpeg) ---

Very nice build, Mark. I’ll get around to making one of these along with a trap later in the summer. How heavy is this prop would you say? ---

It’s not heavy at all. It has a little bit of weight to it though. Enough to be noticeable when hanging off of the trap on the belt. ---

Technically it’s a bellows. I believe he got it from a seller who sold cut lengths of it here a couple of years back, I don’t believe that seller is still providing it. ---

Hey what did you do for the relay? Is that an 11 pin relay or use something’s a replacement? ---

Accurate relay, if I remember rightly I removed the bottom with the pins and bolted it straight to the project box. ---
