Well. Bizarrely 11 years later I can tell you yes I did find it - I was
trying to rewire my B&D strimmer so I could use it with a standard Flymo
extension cable, which is what I did - the strimmer's still going strong.

I couldn't remember for the life of me where I found the necessary part,
but a bit of Google Groups searching found the 11-year-old thread, which
also includes the answer - as I can now recall, it was just at a local
mower shop:


I was given a Flymo electric mower (the wheeled variety - not hover) a
few years ago by a Freecycle donor. It came without a cable. All my
extension cables were for B&D or Bosch devices - both of which use the
same 2-pin plug as each other, but different from flymo.

I bought one of these (or similar)

and made up a short adapter cable with that at one end and a B&D 2-pin
male plug at the other. This enabled me to use the flymo mower with my
B&D cables.

It was pretty useless though, and I soon realised why it had been given
away! I gave it to another unsuspecting Freecycle client, and bought a
petrol mower.
