You kind of lost me there... Your laptop has a power brick, right? And that plugs into the wall and into the laptop, right? If so...
You want something like this?
12 VDC -> Car PSU -> Laptop, right?
If you can see where the jack attaches to the mobo, you can use something like a Carnetix PSU and solder directly where the jack connected to the mobo.
The Carnetix allows you a little more voltage flexibility as some computers take 18 or 20 VDC instead of 12. You will have to check to see what your laptop needs.

Ummm. What parts? The jack inside the laptop? As long as male and female are matching and have the required number of pins, can carry the current you need, you can go to Radio Shack and get any kind you want.
