    Hi.

    Does anyone by chance have a source for the brass eyelets that keep the sections of lamp sockets together? I've been searching and can't seem to find the right size anywhere. I tried these below, but they are just a tad small at 3mm x 6mm.

    My guess is that I need 4mm by 8mm, and I have ordered these below to see if they size up, but I'm concerned about the description. It seems to flip/flop between copper and brass. Or in one section...cooper.

    The eyelets used in the lamp sockets would be brass, correct?

    Thanks for any input.

    Quoted from schudel5:

    Why not just buy a new socket?

    Oh, I have. I'm attempting to rebuild a light bar. The sockets I have are a great match, but I need to take them apart and then reassemble with the light bar in he middle.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Light bars are the worst, Rip them out!

    It is a constant struggle with the little guy on my left shoulder that says "rip them out ya loser!", and the little guy on my right shoulder that says "keep it original man!".

    Thanks!
