Thanks

Thanks.

In this instance I am replacing light bar mounted spots with an LED lamp on the roofrack - I want to break into the wiring with a waterproof plug and socket so lamp/roofrack can be removed if necessary.

And in general it's good to know a supplier who has quality components rather than cheap ones.

A marine chandlers can be excellent for sourcing top quality cable for the harshest environments. Really depends on what your plans are and where the cables are going to sit.
Personally I use Olflex Cable from Germany and available from Farnells it is suitable for just about anywhere on the Land Rover and available in different core sizes and multicore.

Cable Glands don't come much better than those offered by Index Marine. Side entry ones available too.

Cannon, amphenol and just about any connector for any purpose PEI Genesis Southampton. You will of course need the tooling to crimp the pins sockets but I can possibly help you out as you're not a million miles away. 'PM' me if you wish I may have a few bits 'n' bobs lying around, dependant on your needs.

Sorry gents I think I confused the issue by putting "wiring" in my original question - I meant wiring accessories and in this particular case an IP rated plug and socket to break into existing wiring.
