PC flash connector- source?

Anyone know where to get a PC flash connector to add to a camera body? A small 'panel mount' version to wire from the back side and allow a standard flash connector cord to be plugged from the outside of a camera? To be mounted into a body panel of a camera.

I'm thinking I might need to disassemble a flash adapter and simply rip out what I need. Like on the right side of the adapter shown below. But maybe someone knows an easier way to get there from here.

Thanks!

Probably using a PC terminal for a Pentax Spotmatic or K1000 would work well as they are held in with a retaining nut so all you would need to do is drill the appropriate size hole. Many other cameras use threads in the body for the PC socket so not as adaptable to your application.

Thanks, Brian. I might give them a shot.

Good idea, Bill. I have a variety of parts bodies around, I'll bet there will be one or two usable ones. Thanks.
