Question about nose cone attach

Post

I'm new to this forum and I'm a F1 modeler, by now I'm looking information for my next build a 1/12 F2002, that i'm intend to improve from the original Revell kit.
I plan to detach the front nose from the main body to be able to see all the direction and brake system, but I need your help because I haven't found enough pictures that show how the front nose camera is wired inside the nose cone and how is connected to the main body; of course the connection of the cables of the camera has to some type of fast connector that allow the replacement of the nose on race. I found a website that shows the FIA camera mountings and explains about a hole for the cable but I think that the connection to the main body solution depends on each team.

The pictures I found on Ferraris show a couple of circles on the wall that may be some kind of connectors where nose cone should be set (see image) but I haven't found any photo of the inside of the nose cose with all the cables and connections for the cam. i'm posting a photo I found without it

You can see some of my builds at this links. I try to be as much accurate as possible

Here's a good look at the F138 that may or may not help.

Thanks alot for the info, but in the nose cone should be the connector fixed somewhere instead of using a cable, because when they replace the front wing they do it quicly and nobody is conecting any cable, just two (or four) guys release the wing one take it off and another one put the new one in place while the first guys secure it. I've been watching some videos n youtube as they practise the pistop nose change.

Here few examples,

I also found some examples of connections wher in some cases you can see that inside the nose the connector is fixed, and maybe the other cables are for telemtry or something like that on tests.

Well, thanks again for your help and I hope I'll be able to sort it. If some one has more info i'll be really grateful. Thanks
