Changing 12v + aerial socket to 12v+aerial+sat

[MisterB]

HI, i want to change a 12v + aerial socket to one with an additional satellite connection. I realise the easiest way is just to add an additional sat connection in a separate socket, but i want it to look 'factory'. The moho is a Bailey Advance 754, Autograph.

Has anyone done this or changed other sockets? If so can you point me to the brand of sockets used by Bailey ? The sockets are black gloss facias. I know i could contact Bailey, but wanted to buy them direct and perhaps save myself some money !

I want to be able to move the tv from the over the bed on the fridge wall to on top the small cupboard near the hab door as and when needed. I can leave the stand on the tv whilst it slides into the wall mount (i have tried and it works ok) - so i am looking to create two sat feeds to the tv. i have a twin lnb so i will just use one feed to each tv point.

Thanks in anticipation

i have been looking at them on ebay, but the sockets i currently have are gloss black, so i wanted to match them up with the existing ones (as one is next to a 240v socket, so want to match it)

but many thanks for the response !

Heres what we used in our 79/6, but if yours is black then probably not much use.

im sure the bailey one is just a c-line socket with an oversized posh gloss black surround
have you took your socket apart to see what fittings it has?

Why not post a photo of your existing socket. I am sure somebody will be able to identify who the maker is.

A lot of motorhomes use CBE sockets so try a search for that.

Prima Leisure.. wouldn't touch 'em with a barge pole.. way way too expensive. I think its a C Line. I replaced one in my 794 as the RF socket broke.

Prima leisure is Bailey ,I agree they are expensive on some items but very good in terms of replacement parts .

thats exactly the style of socket that i have !!

i currently have this socket and it doesnt look as though they sell it with a sat tv connection aswell. They sell the c line type but that wont match what i have and as one of the tv sockets is in a group of 3 adjacent to each other, a c line would look out of place. unless i take the thing apart and it turns out to be a c line insert inside a black gloss fascia? looks like ANOTHER job for lockdown lol

I may end up drilling a hole in the existing socket and just fitting a sky coupler to connect on to. as was pointed out, they are a tad expensive !!

By the looks of this the insert is a c-line fitting. And if so it looks like this one will fit instead £9.69 including free delivery.

2 ordered !! anyone need just a 12v and aerial c-line fitting?

I was going to say, the gloss black is just a surround round a C line fitting. Pretty much been standard fit for many manufacturers for years alongside berker with the round style fittings
