Chef connector to coaxial cable

[CalicoJack]

Sorry CRAFT moment. VHF not chef. I need to remake my vhf connection (co-axial) to the through deck connection. It's the bit from the mast down to the deck. I thought that I would find a video on YouTube, but have had no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction. Written instructions would be fine.
Thanks,
Nigel

Not quite with you.

Are you saying you have a deck socket and need instructions to wire the matching plug

or that you want instructions for fitting a plug and socket.

or that you want instructions for fitting a deck gland

or what ?

My VHF aerial has a Vtronix deck connector,http://www.force4.co.uk/department/...re-coaxial-deck-plug-socket.html#.VOoonvmsVwU which has been in use for about 30 years without problems. I may still have the instructions

Google pl259 VHF connector.

Google pl259 VHF connector.

but thats the connector for the socket on the radio. Similar procedure though to the Vtronix connector but different lengths to cut / strip IIRC
