jbbuick22 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Colin, If it is the same as the US models it is a reel type cig lighter. I will try to get a pic of the one on my 22-6-55. JB22-6-55 Sport Touring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinvoice Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi MarkThanks for the info on the cigarette lighter. Still not quite sure what I need but still looking.ThanksColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Colin, The retractable ones just have a spool of wire inside that is on a clock spring so it retracts after use. There were several makes and several were aftermarket... I expect that since you have a McLaughlin, you could use just about any of them and never be challenged for being authentic.

unimogjohn Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Colin, is this what you are looking for? I wish I had seen this before I listed mine on Ebay. But here it is if you are interested. It is new and ready to install. It has an adjustable mounting screw that allows it to attach to almost all dashboards. Here are a couple of pics.

jbbuick22 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 John, What is the brand? It looks like the one in my car, but mine needs the element. JB22-6-55 Sport Touring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 JB, I looked for a brand name and/or model. There is nothing on the case. Maybe there is something inside, but I dare not open it for want of releasing the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
