(sorry mods if in wrong section, im hoping its in the right place)
ok a while back i put a panel socket on my mig for the earth lead.
the cable was fairly short as they are, and starting to look well worn from use.
so i got a panel socket off ebay from a welding supplier and fitted it.
got my neighbour who was an electrician to crimp a terminal on the cable for me, so i could connect it.
so now my mig has a detachable earth lead...
i had bought a 200A tig unit from a member on here before hand.
so im using the earth lead for that on my mig too.
but for a while ive been meaning to get another earth lead but kept forgetting.
(short term memory loss) horrible when your getting old
anyway ive hunted my feedback on ebay but cant find it for that purchase. must be too old.
so i cant find out what socket type it was, as they list 10/25, 35/50, 70/95 panel sockets.
the diameter of the pin on my earth lead is 9mm.
as im trying to find out so i can look for a 3m earth lead and also needing a twist handle, lead and socket for using the stick welding side of the tig machine.
that too seems to be the same diameter.
any help appreciated and also good places that sell these things too.
wanna get something fairly descent and not something really cheap and nasty.

I standardised all my connectors to 35/50, makes life just that bit easier. Just search eBay for 10/25Dinse andyou should be able to find what you are after.
