Where can I get IEC connectors (kettle lead) with the centre pin rotated, and........

[Synthman]

also looking for a lightbulb for my headlight to keep as a spare.

I cannot find the IEC connector with the middle pin rotated at all. Firstly it was for if I made a new battery case. The other reason is so I can put a short wire between the existing battery and the connector on the bike (for a power switch or a connector for a multimeter to measure current). The other alternative is that I could change the existing connector on the battery and bike for regular IEC ones but I don't really want to do that. They must be obtainable somewhere surely? What are they called?

As for the headlight, I managed to see the side of the bulb without removing it, and it is rated 10w and 55v. I don't know what the indicator and rear tail light bulbs are though. I heard these bulbs are practically impossible to find, which is why I'm looking in advance of any potential failure!

Try Wisper Bikes service, they use them and are usually good on spares holdings.

Here's the service web page

Do you mean two vertical pins and one (the 'earth') horizontal? If so its because they are not IEC connectors....I think they are some made up Chinese connector so not sure what they would be called.

The various IEC pinouts can be seen here:

Not sure if the same as ones fitted to E bikes may have to change male and female

Those C19 and 20 connectors have rectangular bodies Frank, they won't do since the upper corners need to be chamfered like the regular IEC "kettle" plug.

Sorry Frank, missed that. The right ones are available though changing both shouldn't be necessary.
