Looking for a round mains inlet for a pedal board, I tried Google with the only result being these US style plugs for those round holes you see in some of the Trailer Trash type boards etc. like this:
Any ideas if or where there are any IEC style/Kettle Lead connectors that are made in a similar style, all I can find are the usual square looking types with tabs rather than a round socket as above. Don't want to buy these US ones as they are rated around half of UK voltage, although a PSU won't draw huge current I'd rather not risk it.Thanks

An IEC C5/C6 'cloverleaf' connector should fit a round hole, although the ones I've seen need two screw holes to the sides as well.

How big is the round hole? That may dictate the choice anyway.
I would definitely keep it legal. There are a few options from the past that were rated for mains and aren't now, but for valid reasons and I would steer clear if you want to use it anywhere it may need to pass a PAT test or where you may need public liability insurance.

I used them on the CNC machine when I rewired it all, just for the mains feed to the router.
