Rebuild original cigarette lighter?

I have the original cigarette lighter in my truck. Replaced the receptacle today so now I can charge my phone, but the plunger is toast. Has anyone rebuilt one of these using parts from a new plunger? Is it possible? Or does someone sell a re-pop? I searched the board for "lighter" but didn't see any posts on it.

You can get a replacement lighter from any parts vendor. You may have to buy the whole assembly though....

I just got my first LMC mag today, and I see they sell the entire kit.

Thanks for the reply.

No problem. Just be careful what you buy from that catalog... and don't plan on calling them and asking any technical questions because they won't be able to answer them.
