What I have available for whoever needs them is two sets of plugs, which consist of 2 ten pin plugs and 4 three pin plugs. They come without brass inserts and the lid to body gasket/spacers which I will provide a drawing of. These are exact copies as pictured.

They were not cheap to make and a set will cost £70. Please email me if interested in a set.

I have not made any of the two pin plugs.
Looking very nice ! can you tell us the manufacturing process ? How were they made ? Mike

Hi Mike, A model making guy made an individual mould for each separate component from the originals, he then resin cast each part, the pouring points were then filed off (located on the inside of the lids and plug upper body).

The plug pin holes were individually drilled also the lid screw retaining holes drilled and taped.

They were then glass bead blasted all over and painted with a plastic high gloss paint to replicate the Bakelite.

Very hard to tell from an original.

Kevin.

I'm also making the plug for the battery connection as pictured as Phillip needs one.

Hi, I will get you one made, the more people who wants them will keep the price down, most the cost is making the mould. But I suspect the world demand for 11 set plugs you can count on one hand.
