Well done mate... I only see one problem with it.. The plug you've got is only rated at 10A. make sure you've got a 10A fuse on it.
If you're after 20A go the hella socket.

Hey mate my apologies. I assumed that it would be 10A as most of those style plugs are only rated at 10A.2008 GXL M6 D4D, Silver

I've actually got the same outlet, they're well made. Although mines only running at half it's capacity!

great stuff, i've been putting off installing another socket at the back, mostly because i can't find a good enough looking socket, good tip there, i've already been on their site and put it down as a fav for later!Comment

An excellent guide, have the same job scheduled for this weekend (getting ready for my dual battery setup). I also ordered all of the parts from Derek, waiting on delivery.
Just a few questions:
* Regarding the hole you made for the socket, do you think it is safe to use a drill (to pilot the hole for the socket) and then use a stanley knife to cut it to size?
* With the socket, which terminals are positive and negative?
* What size (Amps) fuse did you use?2014 Toyota Prado 150 D4D Auto (facelift); ARB Deluxe Bullbar; OME 2" Lift; Rhino Pioneer Platform Rack; Redarc BCDC 1225 with Optima Yellow Top; BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2; Lightforce Genuine Custom 70w HID; GME UHF; Safari Snorkel; Rigid Industry SR-Q2 side lights (yet to be installed); Domin8or winch (yet to be installed)Comment

Hi Matt
I used exactly the same Marine socket from Sidewinder and run into a problem with the plug on my Bushman fridge. The plug would not lock into the socket, so when on dirt roads, it vibrated out of the socket causing a loss of power to the fridge.
I tried several different plugs and ended up emailing Derek who assured me their plugs locked into the socket. I bought a new plug from him and problem fixed, although I have now bought the right socket to use the plug wihout the red bit on the end and that will definitely not come out.
Just in the process of building the drawers now, got the basics made and the brackets to lock into the seat mounts and picking upmdrawer runners tomorrow.06 GXL D4D, 6spd, Snorkel, ARB bar, XS900 50w HID lights, 55W HID Headlight upgrades, T/bar, 7" GPS, QStarz data logger, 52L Bushman Fridge, Premier winch, Sandgrabbas, GME TX3440, AE4705 antenna, Scangauge II, Dual Batteries, Aero bars & rack, Drawers, 2" Ironman/Rancho/King lift, Under bonnet compressor, Black ducks, Voltage booster, Rear table, AVE TPMS,Comment

As mentioned elsewhere an unsoldered properly crimped joint is far more reliable than a soldered joint of any type . Soldering of cable joints is almost unheard of in professional circles and has been that way for many years . I have young blokes who work with me who don't even know whata soldering iron is but daily join hundreds of wires .Comment
