Extra cigar and USB sockets
I am looking at fitting extra cigar sockets and USB charger sockets in the rear of my puma 110,
Are there any makes I should go for?
Any pointers on wiring and where to take a Feed from?

Brendan on here is your man for those. Thumbs Up Regarding wiring if your not going to exceed 10A draw (dash socket max load) across all lighter plugs at one time then you could just tap into the existing one and to the new one then you will have two that are both usable. But just make sure you don't exceed the max draw. If you have items that you want to use at the same time i.e. a 6A draw item and another 6A used totalling 12A then that would be too much in which case the new 12v lighter plug would have to be wired independently fused again at 10A. Most charging items such as Sat Navs or phone chargers use under 2A draw so it maybe worth looking at the first solution. There's also the Illumination that can be tapped into too.

purple and black Tim Thumbs Up - and it's fused, I just can't remember on which circuit Embarassed


I don't understand why people are swapping their 12v sockets to usb or twin usb when you can but usb plugs that fit flush and have either 1a or 1.5a output

IIRC its on it own fuse/circuit, under the right hand seat, sometimes the feed is disconnected, and need reconnection again under the brake master cyl,,

Ditto,, have 2/3 griffin twin usb plugs, work fine California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I don't think I will use more than 10A at a time, engel fridge 1.5A, an iPhone, an iPad and mabe charging a maglight.

It make more sense to fit a USB bullet in a socket, you have both options!

I'd use thinwall automotive. Or do you mean actual diameter and current rating?

EDIT* Sorry should have read your post more through more thorough. Embarassed
1mm would do with a 16.5A rating easily enough for what you want. Not over kill nor so small it's fiddle to work with.
I would also fuse what ever your putting in too unless it is already.
