When installing a new in-dash tach on my 1970 Ghia, I noticed two of the plastic dash bulb holders (speedo and gas gauge) are broken and one of them has a broken spade connector which seems very narrow (and odd) size. Any ideas what size this is? Or can I make it easy and use the metal bullet shaped bulb holders I used in my 67 bug? They use a standard electrical female connector. Thanks in advance!
