Does anyone know where to buy lamp sockets for the speedometer bulbs. Preferably wired so I can splice them on to my wiring harness.

You should be able to find them at about all of the vendors. I haven't looked for them at the local FLAPS but they may stock them as well. YNZ sells them but they have a $20 minimum order.

I'll be checking it out this week! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 63 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 63 | OK ... This socket has annoyed me for a while .... because none of the vendors carry them ..plastic or otherwise.. At Tiny's suggestion I went to YNZ and they have the solution ... metal ones just like the originals, one piece so they don't break apart when you try to remove them for a bulb change ... like the ones that were attached to my repop wiring harness. I had them make it up using @25 socket with a 6 inch pigtail in my wire color of choice ... fits like a glove and Chris @YNZ is nice as could be. Super service.
Thanks for the help and I hope this helps someone else!
