  Will do Bro!
 
Only my implementation will be a little DIY and not as finished as yours would be. All I have for the receptacle is the PCB mount with standard hex nuts and no fancy beveled finish nut. I can't find the beveled nuts online either, they would have a Lemo part number but I don't know what that would be or where to get them.
 

I'm sure they'll turn out great man.

I'm excited to see this on the T50RP! You better fill my notification feed with pictures buddy. Anyway, can you take some pictures of the inside of the cup afterwards? I'd like to see how the Lemo chassis mounts on the inside. 

:beerchug:  


These are the 3pin redco mini xlr ($3.95)
On my t50 rp
I tend to go form over function
On this stuff I'm going for durability mainly
I'd love to see a fancied up version
I think mad dog does a nice job

Nice job! So when using the mini xlr chassis, you have to put them in right at the corner? Is there not enough surface area on the bottom where it's flat to install them?

yeah thats the only place i could put those jacks and get a nut behind them
so its really solid, you could probably do a glue job or sugru and get it
straight down but i don't think it will fit, also once you commit to drilling 
a big hole, you're committed to having a big hole in your earcup......
i recommend starting with a small hole and enlarging, i use a small hand drill
on plastic and finish it with an exacto...once its too big its too big... 
 
theres tons of photos out there of what people have already done for inspiration
the straight down mods are usually sma coax connectors, not really designed
for audio but they work just fine, i just really like the mini xlr, its rock solid
and looks really heavy duty, and for me it was a budget project for a little over
$200 bucks i have an awesome sounding set of cans

You've probably seen mine then.

 

 
I don't know why people claim that the coax type of connectors aren't meant for audio, Hifiman uses them. lol
