hi, you’ve got a sharp eye
it is indeed for the 12 s socket , already made part of the loom but after searching for hours can’t seem to find the pins , or even tracking down the connector that comes with the spare pins

The earlh just goes to an eyelet stud.
I'm sure you could just cut some insulation off the LR wire and solder to the copper.

hi pete
u must have a crystal ball as i was just thinking the same after finding these 3 way splice connectors
i can just take out the wire and link it onto an ordinary spade connector via the inline fuse , so the existing loom is all put back as it should be and have a safe terminal for the 12 s cable
what do i think , ref the pic plse

Does that thick green brown go anywhere on your tow bar loom ?
If it does maybe you have a twin socket loom ?
And further exploration under car required ?
Or look around towfuses.
Do you have 2 15A ones with wires?

hi
apologises , the wires in the pictures are from an old electric seat loom, as i found one of the connectors had the same type of pin
have included pictures of the towing wires from the landy
i’ve had a good route around and can’t see any fuses on the 12n socket , was actually going to remove it, remove the insulation tape that’s been done before so it’s all put back properly
so in the future if i ever decide to re connect the 12n i can get a dedicated loom
have got an inline fuse which i will fit a 15amp rated fuse for the 12s
assume it’s ok to just have the 12s socket installed

Arh. I see. So previous owner didn't use a genuine LR loom, and you are wanting pins to possible sort this out in future.
