In my opinion it looks like the plate fits behind the single socket and gives you a mounting then for the 2nd socket.So, first take the 2nd plate shown in the link and then before screwing on the socket you put the plate in the first link on and then that gives you the 2nd socket mtg.If that all makes sense

Of course! Well done that man.

Their lowest P&P seems to be £4.95, which is fair enough but for £1.10 of goods ........

What happens when someone's picked one up! Surely they'll still have to post it to you!?

You must have a trailer or caravan and camping shop in your area. Just go buy one there!

Yep, but I don't think it would cost a fiver to post, do you?

We used to have a great place in Dartford, but they moved out when the area was going to be developed. Guess what? Development got put on indefinite hold. Now we have a large area of housing and shops that lie empty.

Hey if anyone fancies the towbar on my Laurel and has the means to get it off, it's yours. Just drop me a line.

No. it'll probably cost £3. Seems a lot of grief to save £2 thats all! Someones got to go in the shop, buy it, then see about wrapping it all up, find out what the postage is, stamp it up and post it to you for a net saving of £2.For stuff like that surely youre just best off going to a local accessory shop, theyve always got towing gear for not much money and you dont have to arse around with getting stuff posted.

Seems a lot of grief to save £2 thats all!You're right, I just don't like paying five times the cost of the parts for postage. I probably wait till I need some other bits and can make a sensible order.
