Do u mean the big round jobbies?

Arent these a bit big?
Will they deal with the heat (its a turbo engine)
Isnt there anything a bit more discreet?

Thanks for the quick reply

used to run a trailer plug and socket on my old turbo and it was fine. you aint gonna be mounting it on the turbo so heat won't be an issue.

I always use these plugs from Maplin

Which plug into this socket

They are by far the neatest solution i have yet come across, and i have never had any problems with water ingress or bad connections... You can also just about squeeze heavy duty trailer cable into one, to make the wiring even neater...

I don't think it was exactly the ones shown in this pdf but something very similar !!!

Have a look at PX0800 & PX0801

It all depends where you are breaking the link ! Some people do it right back at the bulkhead and use a panel mounted socket and a plug. I've done it just behind the grill and so used an inline connector !
