So the sockets fit right in to the back of
the 69 dash?� How were they grounded?� Have any pics? J I just spent some time trying different
methods.� I took two metal brackets from hell and bent out the spades, then
placed them in the sockets.� I took another two metal brackets from hell and
spread some glue (albeit not the highest adhesive but pretty damn good) on the
spades and then placed them in the sockets.� I let them sit for 10 minutes.� I
came back, placed bulbs in all four sockets.� I came back in 5 minutes and
found that every single one had at least some movement (1/4 of the way out).�
One of the glued ones had came all the way out and one of the bent ones came � the
way out (one spade completely out). Anyone know of any aftermarket place that
makes replacement sockets?� I do not want to be afraid every time I take off my
dash bezel that I am going to lose a bulb and have to dismantle everything.�
Even if the spades are glued, bent, nailed, stapled, welded, melded, etc…�
I would still have the thought in the back of my head. Thanks, JB From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of crobertson1 JD I have the same problem
with my 69. Some I used super glue on the spades. The ones that were real
bad, I found a wiring harness from a 75 corvette and spliced the sockets with a
length of wire on my harness. Craig -----Original Message----- Does anyone out that have a
sure-fire way to keep the bulbs and metal frame things from slipping out of the
black sockets? I just spent a few hours putting my dash in, taking it out
(getting the bulbs came out), putting it back in, taking it back out (getting
the bulbs that came out) , you get the picture. I was thinking of using
some contact cement on the little spade connectors that go down into the
holder. I think the bulbs fall out when that thing gets loose… Any
ideas? And if anyone know who the engineer
was who designed those things, send him my way. Thanks, JB |
