OK so i have seen everyones trucks with the MFU plug and i was not wanting to go that route at all. Its not scale and i didnt like it. So here is what i did today after a lot of thinking and planning. Im still searching for the perfect wire that is the thickness i want to coil. (i actually figured out how to spring coil the wires)
Heres what i got what do you think?
Started off with the first test plug on the trailer using a 3/32 stereo jack
After wireing up all three i stupidly found out that they were grounding each other out (DUH Metal mount parts
) so i made a new mount on styrene problem solved
Bought some mono audio plugs and snipped and filed and soldered some wires on using these parts
Made a post out of brass and a mount and added 3 ports to the deck like this
I still have to remake the middle line as i decided the coils were just not looking right but here is conected to truck and trailer
Each Line has a +/- wire so on my truck my blue line is my rt turn lights, my red is tail/brake lights, and my white but will be black line is my left turn. i have full turn radius and when i dont want to run the trailer i disconect the lines... I found some even smaller plugs today 2 for $20
but ill be trying those out in the next few weeks looks wise if i like them better..The three ports on the deck run to the trailer ports on the mfu so you dont tie into other lighting...
Let me know what you think. i think it doesnt look too bad and once i can get the colored wires i need it'll look even better!
Thanks for looking!!
For the first time ever my trailer has brake and turn lights so i was outside half the night running the truck just happy i can see them work...
I actually found scale gladhands but they are 1 1/2 inches long.... too big for our scale. still searching high and low. If any Vendors think they could make something close looking that i can run both a poss and neg off of PLEASE let me know!!
