Generator Plug Change

[nast70]

My twist lock adapter, and the outlet in the generator are finally worn out and no longer 'lock' without help from some wire. I'm thinking of just replacing the twist lock outlet with a 30amp outlet on the genny. Is there a reason for the twist lock outlet that I'm overlooking?

im assuming its a 30 amp twist loc.. No reason you cant change it over, originally it probably had the twist lock just for the fact it cannot be kicked out and alot of the home solutions for a gen use the twist lock compared to a rv that uses a 30 amp plug.

Well after looking at the regular "crowfoot" 30amp outlet, its too large to fit in the opening, so i just replaced old twist lock with a new one. Now it locks!
