Probably.  I think John Coughtrie did it.  I still have a couple of feet
of loom attached to this alternator if you want it.

No, I don't know of anywhere that supplies them.  All I have managed to
do is determine that the 35-pin connectors used on (some?) Audi 100
autocheck systems are identical to the MAC11/12/14 connectors.  I
desoldered the connector last night, and bent the pins straight.  Today
I'm off for some 20-core cable, a lot of heatshrink sleeving, and a box
to put some switches and LEDs in.
