Hans & Listees,

I use to have this outlet on my old 83.5 Westy Wolfy.
I have spent some time in Europe (3 month bike trek +
numerous visits); at most car parts store
(Pep-Garcons or DerWonderPartsPlace) over there, they sell accessories
that plug right into that electrical outlet.  It is made by Hella like
other VW electrical
components.  The connection, once plugged in, is a very
tight and snug.  It does not pull out easily like the cigarette
lighter plug accessories.

Perhaps some of our European members (or Bus Depot?)
could procure some after market plugs for us to splice
and use on our current lighter plug accessories???

Why just last weekend, I was looking as drilling a hole
in the dash of my newly acquired 89 Syncro Westy, to
add the very same electrical outlet that I purchased
back in Europe.  I also acquired a neat utility lamp
with a magnet back and about 30ft (sorry 10 Metres)
extension that winds backup and neatly stows away.
Its no larger than a roll of Scotch tape. Very handy
for changing (Big O/BF Garbage/Badyear/Fierstoned
 NON-Reinforced) flat tires at night.

I gave more than my 2cents on this reply ;-)
