67 Coronet 500 Instrument Bulb Holder Sockets

[DrewHaigh]

Howdy,
My Convertible has seen some wet days in it's 59 years and all my instrument cluster bulb holders are corroded beyond cleaning. I've tried. I have the cluster out and have cleaned all the traces and tested with an ohm meter. I saw the other article so I also soldered all the pins. Great tip as a few of mine were loose. I cannot locate 5/8 sockets. I found some on Amazon that were supposedly 5/8" but I received the 1/2" units. Second fail at ordering them from online. Does anyone have a part number or know where I can obtain 10 of these 192 bulb holder sockets? 4 were black and the other 6 were gray but this doesn't matter to me. Thanks!

Thanx for the reply. I was at the Advance Auto counter today with my old part in hand and they said they might have it but I need a part number.. pretty weak. If it is a chain what parts company did you use or do you have a P/N by some chance??

It's a Western Canadian chain. Lordco.
They were just generic 5/8" one wire sockets. They actually had them out on the floor in the electrical aisle.

Here, this should do:

Just re-read your original post. You need T10 twist lock sockets.
