Mounting a 13 pin socket

New caravan 13 pin plug, so a nice Sunday afternoon job to change the 7 pin 12N & S sockets to a nice new 13 pin one. WRONG. The rubber boot on the 13 pin plug is too large to go through the existing plate! Back to dealer - no they haven't got any 13 pin mounting plates, nor it seems has anyone else locally. So a bit of a (temporary) bodge until I can get a plate with the right size hole. The point of all this is does anyone know where from?

PS Thanks to all who offered suggestions re fixing my fire extinguisher.

Your local towbar fitter will have one.

Or you can drill out the the old bracket hole, with a hole cutter.

I think its 32mm. clamp a piece of wood at the back of the old bracket and secure in a vice, drill the pilot hole into the wood.

Just done this myself, as i wanted to use my old socket holder which i made from stainless steel.

If you dont have a hole cutter use a jigsaw, but it is awkward.
