I replaced my rusted-out power plug with an RV replacement part.  I bought this common part at an RV supply store near my home.
  I drilled out the pop-rivets on the rectangular housing that it came in (it was different size and shape), removing the needed center plug-part, which I then pop-riveted (as original) into my original rectangular housing.  Looks original and works like new!
