Widder Replacement Cords

[spacewrench]

Does anybody know where to find replacement Widder electric-gear cords (or cords that are compatible)? The IronButt website has them in their E-store, but you can't check out -- that part of the site doesn't work.

Have you tried contacting them directly?

Yeah, I got in touch, and it was operator error (me!). Replacement parts ordered, hopefully everything fits right and the rest of the electrics inside my vest are still solid.

The pictured connector could be replaced with a SAE. Is it possible to replace the mating connector as well?

[spacewrench]

The connector inside the vest is riveted to a plastic strain-relief plate that's sewn onto the inner lining. It would be possible to replace, but fairly major surgery. Plus I figure once I open up the vest, I'm sure to discover that the internal nichrome wire is falling apart.

Fortunately, the spares I got from IBA work OK, so they should keep the vest alive for another few years.
