    Quoted from barakandl:

    I can't find any larger than about 14 or 16 pins i think its. Bally used some 25's, 28s in .100" and up to 20 in 1.56".

    Use 2. Cut one so that put together they have the right number of circuits. Lightly sand the uncut edge and the matching edge of the other connector. Mix a little epoxy and apply a thin coat on both the sanded faces. Stick them together and line them up straight. Let it cure overnight on some cardboard or something. Light pressure on either end is preferred. Wipe off any squeezed-out epoxy with a water damp paper towel. The next day trim off the excess with a box blade.

    Order some keying pins.

    Which brings up the question: what do you use for a keying pin if you don't have any in your pocket?
