Instrument Lamp Sockets and Terminals
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am having a hell of a time finding instrument panel lamp sockets and their associated terminals. I've attached some pics. I found just one place that carried but after two weeks of waiting they finally told me these parts were discontinued.

I know I can get the pigtails from American Autowire but that would get too expensive for the quantity I want.

Anybody know who carries them?

I would go to the junk yard and cut a bunch of ends off for a few bucks.

Actually, it looks like I'm gonna have to do something similar and that's to solder the new wires on old terminals. At least it will be a fresh connection and not a 50 year old crimp. I can still crimp the insulation wings over the insulation part of the wire.

At least I can buy the center terminals. An old one would be harder to solder a new wire to.
