How do you change a plug?

[Captain]

I have just received a tuner from Germany, but it has a Euro plug on it and I need to convert to UK 3 Pin. One of the wires is black the other black with a white stripe. Could any body tell me which goes were when I rewire. Will have to simplify it for me by saying black to blue/brown ect.


Thanks

I wouldn't tinker with AC if you are not sure what you are doing. Use an adapter instead. http://www.world-import.com/plugs.htm

If it's a euro 2 pin plug with both pins the same (ie: like an electric shaver plug) then it won't matter if you connect black to neutral or black to live..... if it did matter then shaver plugs would have an "insert plug in this way up" mark on them or one pin smaller than the other.
