NATO Slave plug cover

[Midnight Rider]

Does anyone have or know where to get the cover for the slave plug in the front of the 1009?

I've looked on Ebay, but didn't really find that. I did find the slave cable, but I don't need that right now.

I was thinking if I were to wire in another slave plug just to the front battery, then take a slave cable and replace one end with regular jumper cable ends, I would then have a way to jump start 12V vehicles without opening the hood. I don't really want to replace or redo the 24V one encase I ever get another MV. Has anyone done this before? Where can you buy those slave plugs at?


Thanks,

Try www.milbatteries.com/accessories/tt/nato_connectors.pdf for the connector parts.

I did what you're talking about using 2/0 welding leads and the set-up works slick.
The NATO ends are out there-- some members here even have them for sale from time to time and there's always beltfed34 (Austin Aviation) on ebay.

I think I have a NOS slave cover at home, i'll check this weekend and let you know for sure. PM me if you are interested. It would be the single pin design.

I noticed that the inside of my slave port was turning green from the salt on the roads. I cleaned it out and applied a liberal amount or dielectric grease inside it and found a soft vinyl cap around the shop from the front wheel hub off a lawn tractor. Fits on nice and snug.

I have many used ones. If you want one send me a PM. I have new ones also if you are really fussy. We can trade for something. I am sure.

Look at Anderson Power Products plugs for doing 12v jumping.

I warn people agaist taking a standard plug in the original application and retasking it for something unexpected, one day you may need a jump and some well meaning MV owner may plug into your slave port before you realize it, and blow up your 12v battery.

Check these out...
