<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 228, Issue 9

[Gerg Werks]

I had to ‘source’ a connector from a new, unused M&H harness. Believe it was a body harness - easier to borrow the connector than change entire harness. I’d like to replace this connector now. Think I reached out to M&H - don’t believe I heard back. 

Thanks,

Greg
