Hi all i have just acquired an E Head in great condition the only parts missing are the 7/8 Nut and pin that holds it to the mill i have the loan of one to copy the bit i can't find or even a part number for is the metal plug that connects it to my mill does anyone have any information on a part number or where i can get one new or used i want to keep it all original if posable. Thank you

I believe that the plug was made by Amphenol and may be found on RS components web site.

Bob, I had the same problem a few years ago, could not source new plugs and sockets so bought S/H plug off ebay,then found out there were two sizes made and I’d bought the large one when I wanted the small one.

Gave up at this point and replaced the whole lot with red 440v plugs and sockets

Originally never worries me only non working machine tools

[Bob AstillParticipant @bobastill76884]

I think that is the way i will have to go what did you use in the end please i don't want great big ones like i have for the main power

[John Stevenson 1Participant @johnstevenson1]

Used the standard big ones as I had a shed full.
I was more interested in getting the machine earning money plus if I ever broke one I’d have spares

[Bob AstillParticipant @bobastill76884]

ah ok thank you

Think this is it :- Niphan-Guard-Ring-Plug-63-39-16-PG40.

Gawd knows where the info came from but there is a text file called Bridgeport Head Power Plug lurking in the right place on my computer with a link to a supplier. Link is still live and picture looks like the right thing.

Industrial supplier so probably stupid minimum order but you can always ask.
