Where to get a 13-pin plug?

Slightly off topic. I need a 13-pin (at least) plug for my fiance's car. She's replacing the interior of her '85 635Csi, and wants me to put in a plug for her power seats. 13 wires. I can't find anywhere that stocks a plug with that many pins. I can solder, etc, but just need to find a plug. Would prefer a single plug v. multiple plugs.

Not sure what size wire you are using, but the 15 pin DSub connectors might work for you... ???http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/sto...roductId=15077

If you are not drawing too much current you can use a MOLEX connector.

If you want to spend more money use an Amphenol connector or a Weatherpack connector.

Go to Digikey.com and search for "connectors" on the front page search engine there. They have decent prices and sell small quantities of stuff (like 1).

Your best bet is an electronic supply house. Just make sure you get a connector that can handle the same amount of current. Also finding a 13 pin might be difficult, but you should be able to find one that has more than 13, say 14 or 16 which will work fine because all you have to do is leave the extra pins emoty since you won't need them.
