I want to discreetly fit electrics to my van and i've got most parts together now aprt from one thing.

I cannot find a source for the socket to mount to the van.

Any ideas?

ive seen the M87 type but a large hole would nee dto be made to fit those.
I'm after a surface mount.

The other one may be for the other end of the cable. That's the trouble I've had before, they're usually made for mounting on the house/garage wall to hook up to so are the wrong end.

The surface mount C57 is an inlet but they are less popular now because they are prone to getting dirty, they are usually mounted under the 'van.
