Yoke: Molex & bumper questions...
Minwah:
I'm trying to find a molex connector which I can plug my yoke into (I'd rather not cut off the original plug). Does anyone know exactly what this plug is? I can guess that it is a 12-way male Molex, but it looks different to the one pictured for example, here:

See my pic for the plug I have. Note the D-shaped hole in the middle on the right...the top/bottom left holes are like this also.
Secondly, when taking this yoke apart, some of the rubber bumpers fell apart as I'm sure must be common. I know Ram Controls were making replacement parts for yokes including these bumpers, but I am not sure if they are trading atm (waiting for an email response).
Anyone know of a home-made option for fixing these bumpers? I tried some small tyres off of a model quad bike, which might work, but I think they will work themselves off eventually, as there is nothing to hold them onto the metal part firmly.

Hey Minwah
It looks like the Molex MLX series. Go to molex.com -> wire to wire overview then scroll down to MLX. That looks like the one.

Thank you :)
I think the one I have is this: http://www.molex.com/cgi-bin/bv/molex/jsp/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0050842122_CRIMP_HOUSINGS.xml&BV_SessionID=@@@@0739089663.1204645126@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccadedhhkdfgkcflgcehedffgdfmk.0&channel=Products&Lang=english
I will check the measurements tonight to make sure this is the right one.

Worst case scenario (if cutting the plug isn't an option), just buy the female contacts that mate up to those and put them in one by one and tape it up good. Not perfect, but protects the plug.

True....although if I can find the correct female pins then hopefully I'd be able to find the right plug. I could cut the plug off, but it seems a shame as it has survived so long, so I am not going to!
