I want to do a bit of a mod on the centre consoles rear 12v socket
What i need is the nylon carrier and the two female pins that are normally part of the cars loom. Item #5 is the socket but i can't find the connection parts i want. Anyone know how to locate them?

Re: Real OEM searchng skills
On the same group, there are a number of slides for connectors & contacts. It’s usually a case of trawling for those. Where the socket fits might be under the ‘Vehicle Trim’ group. The parts system isn’t the easiest to use.
You’ll very likely need to look at the existing connections and measure the contacts to find the right one. They’re probably nothing special and Halfords (other motor factors are available) probably sell something similar at a much lower price.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

I'll have another look. Even though it wont be seen i'd like an original fitting, sad? Yes !
Regular spade connectors would do but aren't my first choice, the factory plug has opposing angles
