j pac + kick harness

(1/6) > >>

This has been covered but never fully answered far enough to assist me. Where can i buy..or buy the parts to build a kick harness adapter that i can use with a j pac? I dont want to cut into original wiring. Iv'e heard fingerboards thrown out there..To me it looks like some kind of circuit board and foreign. Basically i want to plug into something..Then take the loose wires coming out the other end and screw them to the j pac terminals. Where do i get that. And who can build it for me if it takes soldering? Its an Mk4 cab.

You need the molex header to connect to your molex connector on the kick harness.  The extra button wires can be soldered to the header and connected to your jpac.  I think it is a 12 pin but have seen pictures where the connector was numbered 1 to 15.  You would have to count the number to pins you need.   Soldering is not all that hard and you will probably have to do it for other connectors.

Would it just be the easiest if i buy another kick harness and cut that one up? I literally understand nothing about that link.Its not that i dont want to learn ..but im a hands on kind of guy and ill order all the wrong stuff if not told exactly what to buy. Im 2 weeks away from getting the j pac and arcade vga and want to avoid the disappointment of not being able to set it up immediately. I believe it's 15 not 12 from what Ive seen BTW.Thank you

If you don't want to use the original kick harness then you don't need a kick harness to replace it to connect to the jpac.   All you need is crimp on connectors for the switches and wires to go to you jpac terminals.  I spec'd the headers because you wanted to keep the original kick harness in place.

I would do that but honestly i just don't get it. Could i double wire the buttons? for instance wire from the j pac just like you said but don't move the kick harness? So i would solder the wires into the header..then clip the header to the kick harness? Is that right? I cant find the 15 pin one that i need. Is that the only component or is there other housings and things that i need?
