2 pin Midland type I think.
Knights sell the made up power leads. Not sure about the plugs.

Ok. Are they pins or sockets on the connector? Looks like sockets but I can't quite make it out for sure.
I'm not at home just now so looking at picture via my phone.

Also looks a bit like the socket on my Lincoln but if Knights can't help, it's probably not that either.

Sockets on the connector on the rig, have done a google search and it looks like one of the Molex Brand connectors, Next job could be trawl Farnell and RS to find it.

It will likely be a molex connector.

The connector looks like a midland but is larger.

I do have an original one but only one.

If you need any sizes I could measure it up

RS Components to the rescue.
