Default Parts car guys - WTB cigarette lighter

Yeah, kind of random. I cannot find mine anywhere, must be unused and in great shape.

Just want to put one back in the dash....

thanks

Hard piece to find in MINT condition. I finally got a hold of one for my car that still had the emblem intact etc. All the others I have are missing the emblem or have been used to some extent.

Sam, 944online has new ones, but they're crazy expensive ($45):

I wish I could say it was perfect, but little things that are easy fixes do bug me. Its a disease I think...

Try checking out a Mini Cooper dealership. They have plugs that cover the hole and look nice, rather than being a cig lighter, its what they use in the tailgate area for the acc plug. Might be a cheaper alternative.

I wonder if that's a US sized replacement. I *HATE* the EU socket. Every plug I have falls out of it. I'm going to inquire which size that one is.

Thanks Nelson! Keep me posted.

The EU socket is annoying for sure!

Sam,

I have the one from my race car - you can have it for the price of 1 beer at Claddagh. I've stopped smoking during races (the smoke gets in my eyes) so I don't need it anymore.

How about we get Daniel & Ben out next Monday or Tuesday for a drink?

Take care,

Rick
