this is the same as our kimber here in england, it can be re-terminated, you will lose a bit of length because you have basically 16 small wires all weaved together qhich you will have to separate to form one set of 8 for live and 1 set of 8 for neutral, the way I do it is to un-ravel all 16 wires about 30-40mm lengths, trim off the outer plastic to reveal the copper wire, about 20mm taken off (plastic sleeve I mean) will leave you with 16 wires with 20mm of copper showing, re-twist all the lives and then the neutrals keeping 1 set at one side of the earth wire and 1 set at the other side. then it is time to put your wattgate or marinco or whatever you are using on, wet the rubber shroud slightly at the back of the wattgate (saliva is ok ...LOL) to stop it getting damaged when you push all the wires through, rest you can do yourself and IF IN DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN, hope that helps

    yeah...ahh put the plug body on first, then trim/strip the ends, don't touch the copper with your fingers, twist together using a clean cotton cloth, and don't get saliva or water anywhere near the bare copper. You will end up with heavily oxidized ends in a very short amount of time if you do. good luck
