    Hardwiring a one gang shortlength ( 1 ft approx) extending lead into a wall outlet

    Yes but that would make the plug and socket stand proud of the wall too much because of the outlet is sited. If I use an extender, I can move the socket and plug connection so they dont get in the way of the wall bracket

Since then, he disappeared, and I had a hard time finding another who was familiar with these single...

The gap between each stud is approx 400mm (or whatever the imperial conversion is as the house was built in 1930) and the depth is 75 mm. Where is the best place to source it...
