After searching the entire internet, I could not find anywhere to buy a single 'Angled' GX12 connector for my Gunfighter MkII..

So, I took a few of the 'bad' cables that I had saved over the years, and took them apart.  I used a grinder to cut 2 connectors apart at an angle.  (I tried cutting one connector to make the angle, but one just makes it too short. So, I cut two, one for the front, and another from the back.  And used the grinder to sand the angles to the correct angle.

I then unsoldered the wires from the socket and slid all of the parts onto the wire in the correct order, and soldered the wires back on like they were (see 1, 2, 3, 4 note in pic).  I slid the shrink tube up over the socket terminals as far as it would go, and then tested it all on my pc and stick.  It was working fine.   

So, just in case it failed sometime in the future, I wanted to solder the casing together so that I could later unsolder in the future to make an repairs.  But the connector is made of stainless steel, which is pretty hard to solder.  So, I ended up using JB Weld.  It seems pretty solid so far, and I think it will work pretty good in the long run.  Time will tell..
