Title: 12 pin to 7 pin adapter.
Post by: Aussie Jeepster on March 14, 2015, 06:14:13 PM

Assuming my Perentie has the same wiring as all other Land Rovers in  the Air Force, I now have an adapter to plug in my 7 pin plug on my trailer.
Haven't tried it yet as the trailer is too hard to get to due to other projects!!!!

Move the other projects out of the way.Connect your WKSP trailer to the Perentie and bring them both to Melrose at easter. :) ;).

Such a good idea that I am building this too.
Its such as good idea; no digging around into the rear loom of the Perentie.

I made one of these 18 months back, to fit my Survey HT and tandem trailer.   It worked a treat ... until I plugged it into a mate's GS that had the wiring inverted.   How that was never detected / fixed, is beyond me.
Another mate recons that Repco sell these, though I haven't verified that.

I would be very surprised if repco even knew what a nato plug was, let alone stocked one.....

I think the "mate" is probably confusing the range of commercial connector adaptors with our less than usual requirement/need to use existing NATO fittings on the vehicles.
