any ideas.... I'm looking for something like this :-

1 metre or less in lenght, right angled, IEC one end main plug the other. Don;t need high current it's only for soldering irons so less than 150W.
Just can't seem to find anywhere that sells them. Most are 1.5m or longer. I need a minimium of 10 would like about 30. Yes I know I could make them up but it'd be relatively expensive and a bit time consuming as I'd need to get them electricaly tested too before use.
I have a box of right angle leads here somewhere. Moulded on IEC plugs, but no mains plug. Cable is IIRC screened, so rather stiff to bend. And the wire colours don't conform to the current spec.
If they might suit, contact me via email (address below, observe spam trap) and I'll dig them out and see how many there are.
That'd give the H&S people a heart attack and a brain hemorrhage at the sam e time, re:- non standard colours and puttig a plug on, cheers for the offe r though.
I could buy the separate bits and make them up but then they'd have to get their 'men' in to test them, who only come over the christmas new year peri od when they check everything out of hours. Last time I had about 3,000 ite ms checked over 2 days or rather nights. Thing is these leads will be needed for late september 2015, I wanted to ti dy the leads as they are for the new soldering irons.

didn't want to have to secure them with P clips but that might be the best/ only way.
Sounds like dave works in educational establishment that insist on PAT stickers plastered everywhere. A brand new lead with moulded-on ends (therefore unseen and with potentially shoddy wiring) from china is trusted to be good until the next stickering exercise, yet something he could carefully make and test himself is treated like it's made of razor wire ...
Yes that is correct it's silly but it's all to do withy admin, and it's better to employ an admin person to box tick than someone to carry out the work ;-)
No idea really, but we have the agresso system for payments or the use of a credit card. Very occasional paypal is used. But the college likes quotes something ebay doesn't offer. I don;t think ebay accepts goverment orders or on account payments.
