Default 68 DASH light socket help

Does anyone know where i can get any light bulb sockets for the tachometer and gauge cluster?That will hold an 1895 bulb???

I called a few local parts stores, but nothing yet. If anyone could find something let me know please and if anyone has extras i need 5-7 of them.

Thanks again.

Ajay

You are a life saver I've been on zip for an hour this morning and couldn't find anything. The coffee must not be working yet!

The tach and speedo sockets are difficult to get at. I wrote a thread on how to change the tach drive cable that describes an easy way to get into that area. You might want to check it out it might save you some time and trouble.

Thanks, but I've already taken the entire dash out haha.

The lenses were in rough shape and the bezels had been painted over so i freshened everything up.

I'll find your thread and bookmark it for my OH CrAP situations.

thanks again,
Ajay
