Instrument illumenation tanges

I have a backlit gauge that has some brass tanges shaped like tadpoles that serve as the bulb's current tranfer platten. They are worked (paper thin now)and tweak while installing the bulb/plastic twist lock base (name?) They carry almost no current to the bulb now and replacement is a must. Any hows I would like to know the name for the tanges and base if possible so I can research replacements.

TIA Redman

Tadpoles..Tanges ?

Do you mean copper Tangs ?


Are you talking about the little cluster bulb sockets that twist about a 1/4 Turn into the cluster ?

Those bulb sockets are available at any parts store. Just show the guy at the counter and he should be able to help you find them on the shelf.
