Hi, in my newly acquired Pace Car I’m missing the cigarette lighter assembly. I can easily buy replacements at zip, corvette central an top flight, etc. but what I can’t find anywhere are the connections to hook it up. The PO simply cut the wires. Anyone any idea where to get the the correct ones? (With the ring for the ground.
Do you smoke? Why not install a phone charger instead? It all hides under the door, so you don't have to look at it if you aren't using it.
I posted this a few years ago. There are lots of options on eBay, etc.

I used this charger. The green glow complements the gauges, when I'm using it, and I have three ways to turn it off when I'm not (close the lid, flip down the cover, or turn it off with the capacitive on/off switch). I enlarged the hole in my center console panel with a stepped drill bit, and used the stock wiring after clipping the connector and ground ring.
Let me put my smoke down so I can type this.
I have no idea where to get such a large, skinny ring terminal. Perhaps try a automotive electrical shop.
You could simply solder a wire to the side of the housing about 4 inches long and then connect with spade terminals. Considering it's hidden under the console not certain how correct it really needs to be. As long as it works!
Thanks for the the feedback I don't smoke so don't need it for that purpose. I just would like to keep/bring back the car as original as possible and was going to use it mainly to plug in a bluetooth adapter that I can use to play my iphone music over the stock FM+CB radio (for now deciding against having that one re-built with modern internals.. I guess I'll have to let go of a bit of originality and do as 4-vettes suggests: solder a wire onto the replacement, or else like Bikespace suggests, just buy another aftermarket 12V socket. The input is appreciated.
