Hi people, I need to replace the plug on the end of the Engel lead, now the one I mean is a ciggie lighter plug, and I can find a natty one at Jaycar, for almost $3.00 but what are the ones called that have a
little red plastic bit on them that makes then also work in the other (smaller) plug things? And what are the smaller plug things called?
And if you have the chance where do I get them, and what would the cost be?
Thankyou in advance.
Sir Bonz-a-lot

Hi,
Not strictly answering your question, but......
I broke my connection while "bush", fixed by scrapping plug for wired connection - trouble free result- (did remove the fuse from the cable when not using the fridge after I found corrosion taking place on interior of plug terminals).
Recently noticed that Engel have a couple of "prong type plug" accessories rather than the IMHO dodgy cig. lighter types and will fit one soon (or make one up a lot more cheaply I suspect). One is switched (approx. $90 from memory), other has no switch (about $40).
regards
Terry

Hi,
I did that prior to the last trip away. It was great not having to worry whether the ciggie lighter plug had fallen out or not - the connection is very positive - i.e., you put the two-prong bit in and then screw it so it CAN'T come out. The unswitched base plate comes with all mounting hardware and fuses on both +ve and -ve leads. The price was about $40.
