12v power socket with cover

Before I trawl through ebay or the kit car suppliers, does anyone have a 12v power socket (lighter type) with a flap cover?

Cash waiting!

Cheers

It really isn't too bad on ebay - I searched for "12v power socket" and found at least 2 with covers in 2 pages

I go something similar to that from Vehicle Wiring Products:

£3.88 + VAT and del (which is probably about the same again so if thats all you need you might be better off on eBay)...

This one has an inline fuse and cable - supposed to fit to battery termnials but you could cut the ends off and fit it where you want.

If it helps, I bought one of these from VW for my Golf after I snapped the cover off mine. Cost about £4.

Boot mounted socket from a Laguna, from a scrappy.
