The linked 3 Cable Connector is basicly the same you build with the Duponts.....

This are simply 3 Cables with 30cm length..... a 3X1 Plastic Housing..... and 3x "Female" Cimp Contacts. like this ... http://www.avc-shop.de/epages/64272905.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64272905/Products/DUPCP-F

If you like to build this yourself...... Pull of the isolation of Both ends of the Cables.... Crimp the 3 Female Contacts to One End of the 3 Cables.... Put the Female Connectors into the Empty 3x1 Platic Housing. If you got self holding housings ( a little more expensive) then the cables are fixed already.... If Not you neet a drop of superglue or something like this to fix them into the housing.

Sumary.... There are thousends of posible ways to do this stuff. The maby absolute perfect solution is a self designed PCB. There you not need Wire or Max tubes with removebale Diggits.... There EVERYTHING is printed on the Board.... But this stuff is verry advanced. You need machines to make this professional or you have to order it from manifactures but that costs hundrets of Dollars.

So Simply do it like you want.... As much cash you like to pay its going more comfortable !

EDIT: Double Post again .... Stephan Realy funny We should make a time plan to prevent this !

Thats no problem basicly.....
There are existing lots of technics to build this already !

1. Fact... You have to know WHAT Aircraft and Simulator you use....
How many Flaps Positions does it have ? AND If it´s a AddOn... How do it support the Data ( Standard Offset, own Offset ???)
If you like to build a Multipanel for different aircrafts then a Display is maby better then a gauge based system.

2. Fact... You need to decide for a Technic.
I see a system that is build like a gauge.... But not with a motor needle.... It have simple LED´s on the 1,2,5,10,15.... Points. Even what position is reached the specific LED is light Up.
Another system is simply using a 7 Segment 2 Diggit Display that is showing 0,1,5,....40 . Maby this is what you looking for,

Finaly you have to make a config for this ( ore multiple Configs is you like to use LED´s) .
Here some IF Functions are needed.... some Compares .... Or a interpolation. Even what technic you choice above.

If you like you can find out with testing yourself..... If not please tell me exact what aircraft and what system.... Then i can guide you if possible,

Last Note.... Not be scarred about the Motor Needle Gauges.... At beginning i thought about a Alternate, too cause i not know how to use the Motors.... But this is pretty easy !
So if you Need a Display/LED System cause of other reasons then build it.... If you only be scarred from using a motor.... Then Try out.. This workes fine and can be done without big skills!

Hi pizman82

The works is progressing great, I now creates my panel for the components with my 3D printer. Lot of works but it going to be great, trust me

I will going for the led-segment and use 2 of 4 diggit. My panel will be multi aircraft design so the led segment is, I think, very flexiable choice, is not it?
