Grimes light part

Post by Tim Harter »

I wanted to see if anyone knew of a source for the little bulb contact piece in the socket that the wire gets crimped on. We have ran new wire in the airplane and and need to rewire the sockets. Any help would be appreciated.

If I am correct about the part you need..... I have repaired sockets using a "pop" rivet...with the nail removed. Just crimp the wire into it.
