You make a good point, though. The shell size (DB) is the same and you can purchase shells separately. The problem devolves to getting the contacts (it's a standard item you can buy easily) and molding a custom insert. For small quantities, it seems like he could do it himself. The mold shouldn't be difficult to make.

[edit] Even easier would be finding out what material the insert is made of and getting the connectors milled to shape and drilled for the contacts. Fun problem!

Steve, are you listening :-)

If you've got a DB19F floating around you could even make a jig to hold the pins in place in the exact configuration you need, then simply epoxy them in place.
