wheres a good place to find replacement light sockets

[Loren At 65GS]

Loren , If they are still available somewhere I would be interested in 10 or so .

 John, I need to order some more tail light sockets, I can add the socket pieces onto the order.
The company I got them through, has a minimum order total amount.

No Worries,  X2 what Loren said .   
455pev , You should see what happens I get my wires crossed , we could have ended up talking about Christmas tree light sockets . LOL

So here are a couple of pictures. The socket piece is from Del Mar. They cost me $0.90 each plus shipping and handling.
I find their S/H on the hefty end. The stuff I got last order would have fit in a small medium Priority box with room to spare. S/H charges were almost $20. Needless to say, I use them only for things I can't find elsewhere.

Loren , Sorry for the LATE reply . I didn't see your last post till now .
I could use a set soon but I can wait if you want to bring them up to Robs place in May .    Also I,m still looking for a pair of front brake drum and hub assemblies , if you have some I would buy them also .

John,

I have a set of front brakes from my restoration.  Complete including spindles if needed.  Let me know if Loren strikes out and I'll send pictures.

John,

  Since we are close to the May event, I'll bring a pair of socket internals along.
I have drums and hub assemblies out in the shop, can bring them also.

Loren:
The color-coded wire - how/where are you going to make the splice to the new socket internals? Thanks.

[Loren At 65GS]

Dan,

 There are no splices involved.
I had new wire with correct color and tracer made. I have the correct, identical button terminals that contact the bulb.
The button terminals are crimped and soldered to the new wire, threaded through the socket piece and then new female terminals are crimped and soldered to the other end of the new wires. The female terminals are then installed in the connector. Of course you have to properly index the terminals in the connector in order to aluminate the correct filament of the bulb.
