    Looking for the 3 Pin Molex Connector for a Gaffrig GPS Speedo!!

    As the title says, I am looking for the 3 Pin Molex Connector to wire the antennae into a Gaffrig 120mph GPS Speedo. It is the small connector in the photo. Please let me know if you have one. I have tried Gaffrig many times with no response and I have e-mailed Fred at Livorsi and they no longer have them. I sent a request to AutoMeter through their website as their toll-free number does not work from Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Here is a photo of the Molex connector that Fred, from Livorsi sent me. Anyone have one from an old gauge that no longer works. Let me know.
    Thanks

    Looking for the 3 Pin Molex Connector for a Gaffrig GPS Speedo!!

    Still looking! I also saw the same plug used on some early AutoMeter GPS speedos as well. I have tried to contact AutoMeter directly a couple of times and I never got to talk to anyone, so I left voicemails but I have not heard back as of yet. Let me know if you have one to sell.
    Thanks

    Believe it or not a old wascomat 124 washer uses same plug, common plug should be easy to find if you have diagram to wire

    Thanks for the tip. I was contacted by another member that says that he has one coming from his AutoMeter rep. I looked at the back of an old AutoMeter gauge and it has the same socket on the back. I'll keep you posted.
    Thanks

    Still looking for the right Molex connector. Anybody?? I got the Auto Meter one today but unfortunately it is not the right one. It is designed to be used with an Auto Meter GPS speedo with a non Auto Meter antenna. Let me know if you a plug that will work for me.
    Thanks

    Hi Gary, You can use an RC model airplane servo connector. They are not polarized so you have to make sure you plug it in the right way but the pin spacing and size is the same. That's what I have on my test harness for antenna repair.

    That's a good tip but does it lock in place so that it doesn't come when running the boat? Where did you get the plug? Let me know.
    Thanks

    No it doesn't have a lock or the water seal. It does fit tight enough that you have to file just a bit off of the corners to get it to plug in so won't fall out and i doubt you are going to get water in the back of your speedo on a lake boat...or if you do, that's not your biggest problem. You could put a piece of tape in it.

    I had the connector in my RC stuff but any hobby shop that sells RC will have them. It's a Futaba servo plug. Here is 20 of them for $8.50 shipped!(link below) Color code is wrong but you can move the pins to make it correct. I think I'm going to get a batch, set up the color code correct and start sending them to people that are asking for them...in fact just PM me your address and I'll send you one! I just ordered them and they will be here tomorrow.

    On their way...let me know when you get them. First time I've mailed anything to Canada and the post office machine didn't completely make sense. I hope they make it.
