TheSamba.com :: View topic - Plastic Push-n-Turn Instrument Light Sockets

Sun Oct 25, 2009 5:54 pm

So I've been working on my instrument panel.

The instrument light sockets in there are mostly stripped and don't stay. They are black plastic Push and Turn sockets with a single pole. They take the Sylvania 2713 (or 2723) wedge lights.

I need new bulb holder or different ones that work.

All I can find are these:

Does anyone have a source for the black plastic ones?
OR does anyone know if the ones from wbw will work?
OR does anyone have a better suggestion?

thanks,
