Do you mean IEC 60320 type C5/6, here:

?? That's the connector I was assuming you and wulfman were talking
about using as a replacement for the old 163 power connectors - not
the common "PC type" connector, because that's much larger and would
mean cutting into the original equipment panels so that it would fit.
I'm thinking it should be possible to drill the rivets holding the
original 163 sockets, then make up mounting plates to hold an IEC
C6-style socket and rivet/bolt those in place. That's assuming that I
don't lay my hands on some original 163-type cables!

Like wulfman and chuck and as described on my
page, I replace the
chassis inlet whenever I can, although occasionally it's not possible
due to proximity of other chassis elements as the IEC inlet is
slightly larger.
Right now, I'm cursing the guy who thought that the "cloverleaf" or
"mouseketeer" power receptacle was a good idea. I'm sitting here
looking
at an HP ScanJet wondering if it would be worth the effort to replace
it.
