Default Courtesy Light Bulb Socket

On my '69, the snap-in bulb socket for the LH (driver side) under dash courtesy light is missing. The bracket that holds the socket has a 3/4 inch hole and I can't find a replacement socket for this anywhere. I know that the socket has to be a 2 wire socket and that the socket can't ground to the bracket. So, I assume it's a plastic socket. I can find a 2 wire plastic socket that is for a 5/8" hole but not for a 3/4" hole.

Anybody know where I can get one? Help will be appreciated.

I have the old harnesses that came out of my 68. I need to snip out 2 gauge sockets for another forum memeber and I'll see if the courtesy light socket is there. If it is, it's yours.

Sorry no luck on the socket. All 3 of them are gone from the harnesses.

Have you tried Lectric Limited? They are one of the main wire harness suppliers and might have the sockets.
