Does anyone know of a source for the 12 pin NATO type trailer plugs in the US
- with or without leads.

Needed for a civi trailer to be towed behind a Land Rover 101.

Wiring is no problem... Just incase there is anyone with the same
predicament:

Socket layout (Plug is reversed left to right)
                                                     A J
                                                B K H
                                                    L N
                                                C M F
                                                     D E
The letters are only to cross reference to, so both the plugs and the sockets
can be wired the same ...

Going down on the regular military Land Rover wiring diag...

J Stop lamp
B "
K Aux... +ve 12v (or 24v) from #2 fuse point for trailered equipment.
C }
A } Convoy
H }
E Tail lamp ........... English for other end than the head! (Head
lights/tail lights)
D Earth ( Ground)
L "
F Spare .............. can be used for power brakes with a cab brake
controler.
N RH turn signal
M LH turn signal

NB. This is not suitable for red turn/stop light systems - unless you get a
converter from U-haul or NAPA etc.
