[Mg-t] Plug for "Inspection Lamp Socket"

[Nels Anderson]

I looked into this at one time. Apparently, this was a standard socket 
at one time (my Land Rover has the exact same one) and various 
accessories were available for it. I thought Moss Motors sold the plug, 
though maybe not any more. I used to see them come up on eBay every so 
often too. They usually seem to be quite expensive for what is just a 
simple plug. Radio Shack sells similar plugs and sockets, but 
unfortunately the ones I found were not quite the right size but it's 
possible a larger electronics dealer would have one that fits.
