Just get a generic DC female accessory receptacle ($7-10 after market - auto parts), the style that mounts in a round hole and take blank "outlet cover" ($1.25) an make hole in cover and just mount receptacle in cover plate...

Think the issue came a few months ago on this site and this was the solution...

Thanks again.

Roads trip for $3.75 item??? Gas will cost you much more than getting $12 of parts locally. Unless you are considering a big "haul"...

That's what I did. Think I was the one who asked a couple months ago.

4.95 for female jack at Wally World
.99 for blank plate at HD (or wally world -- save gas :) )

Seems like it took a 7/8 " bit for the blank plate and a 1" bit for the hole in the bulkhead.

Oh, get the nylon blank plates -- they drill much easier and not prone to split like th plastics. -- how would I know???? :oops:

Anyway sounds like a neat place and I just love the word salvage !
