He emailed me pictures tonight. I have no idea what cord he was trying to put in there.
I was confused what to do. That nipple will detatch but how do you get another one? Will he need to look for a broken MkIII and try and get it that way?
I feel bad for him since he had it working fine and even updated the software to the newer look.
Thanks

Mk3s don't have grease nipples :-)
Do you mean the GPS antenna connector? Gold colour, sticks out on rear of the Mk3 nav computer.
If so, it is a PCB-mount right-angle SMB connector. They can be hard to find, and you need electronics experience to replace the connector.
But the connector is mounted to the GPS receiver module inside the Mk3 nav, and you can readily replace the GPS receiver without any special tools or knowledge.
Here's a pic of the GPS receiver:
Just be gentle when replacing it, and don't use large tools or apply 20nm of torque to anything
The replacement GPS receiver module can be purchased here:
