I'm replacing a bunch of bad lamp sockets on my Stern Meteor. I bought the lamp sockets from Pinball Life. The
Miniature Bayonet Base 1-Lead Socket With Long Mounting Bracket work great to replace the original insert lamp sockets.

To replace the bad GI lamp sockets, I bought the Miniature Bayonet Base 2-Lead Socket With Short Mounting Bracket as that was the nearest match they carried. They work great but when installed the base sits lower under the playfield so the bulb isn't as high above the playfield as with the original sockets.

Does anyone know where I can get exact replacements for these GI sockets or are these not available anymore?

Try Pinball Resource.

Measure the vertical section of the bracket. That's the value to order.

Just for future reference, PBR had the ones I needed. It's part #A4762 and has a 1/2" bracket.
