Anyone know of a source for a shim to adapt standard
cigarette-lighter power connectors to that wonky VW
European-sized cigarette lighter receptacle?
Everything I plug in there rattles around and soon
falls out.

Several years ago I had a Uniden radar detector which
included a nice little plastic sleeve which slipped
over the plug and made for a snug fit in my Scirocco's
cigarette lighter. My 48HP diesel Westy, of course,
has little need for a radar detector, but I'd like to
power an MP3 player and some other stuff. Instead of
the multiple layers of masking tape I currently employ
on most plugs, where can I find a similar adaptor?

I'd consider simply replacing the socket itself with a
good ol' red-blooded Detroit-style unit from Radio
Shack, but the archives suggest such an undertaking is
beyond the ability of even a nimble-fingered
neurosurgeon ...
