Dash light twist socket

[Bee383]

Anyone know a source for these dash light twist sockets for a rallye dash?thanks for any help

Same as a standard dash......How many you need? I have some spares. Raided the local boneyard of their few old cars left standing.

Prop I just have this one broken.still lights up just won't stay in hole

 

[Propwash]

Yeah, the two tension/lock tabs seem to want to break off after 40 some years..pretty common. PM over your address...I'll zip a couple good ones in an envelope and have them off to Oklahoma pronto for ya. No charge..too much floating around this joint already.

If either of you guys are ever out for good, I was able to get exact replacements (as far as I could tell) from a seller on EBay. I can't say they'd pass a 100-point-restoration dash inspection, but they do work...

They used the same ones on all the gm cars from the same era.

Thanks for info.looks like they're not as hard to find as I thought

what size are the sockets? 5/8th or 1/2 inch?
I have a 72 Plymouth satellite, and I dropped one while trying to put it back in and it went into a near impossible place to get it out near the base of the steering column so I figured I would buy another one, the one I bought seems to small. I am not sure what size the one is I bought. My car has the stock dash assembly

1/2"

1/2"

I think that's what I bought and they seem too small...they go into the hole but won't lock in place there's too much play maybe I need the 5/8

That's probably the case.
