SIP Migmate Pro 170 euro connector wanted

[alfapat]

I have searched all the usual sites including SIP UK. I could verify my model number with them to order a new euro connector but its disappeared with age . They want
£61 for it but not prepared to pay that much . Is there any other UK supplier of these SIP parts that anyone knows of and used . All the ones I have come across do not fit , too long or too short.
All help appreciated. Pat

No dimensions here, and an overseas Seller so maybe no chance of a reply, but this one does look quite long:

There are slight difference between the picture and the real item caused by light brightness,hope you can understand. About color.

If it’s too long - cut it to size , make sure it’s not touching the case when coming through . Amazon do them too - think last one I got was £15 I think

I have had a look on Amazon , most of the , infact all the ones except one company do not give measurements close to the SIP one I have. Its a bit of a trail. If I cut to size I still have the wire guid to deal with and of course this tapered.

The taper is just to take it closer to the rollers. You could file a V on the end of it or cut it short and just set the length on the wire guide.

Yep cut that too - file to suit , to find the same one then it’s a dealer job ,

Ok thank you, if I buy slightly cheaper then I can maybe fashion it to fit and not worry about expense. I have found one on Amazon which is a centimetre bigger , if I draw it back on-the bracket on the welder then the body that goes into the plastic cover may not allow it to sit , got some measuring to do.

Please note that both sides of the welding output, Plus and Minus or "torch" and "earth", must be isolated from mains Earth, so make sure that no part of the brass Euro socket or the wirefeed assembly touches the metal front panel or chassis.

Or space the plastic collar away from front panel
