Subject: side marker light replacements?

This reminds me...



My left rear side marker light bulb socket on my '72 pre-L has failed.  The

bulb and wire keep falling out and dangling against the muffler.  The little

doobies that lock the socket into the light housing when you twist are gone.



My mechanic said he tried, but couldn't get a replacement socket.  Anybody

have a cross-reference for this part?  We could always glue it in or

something, but replacing it should be cheap and is the "right thing" to

do".  Would also make changing the bulb easier down the road...



Thanx!

PS - This first happened at Pocono - I musta really been pullin' some G's on

the banking, huh?  :-)
