[DeTomaso] Need tach bulb sockets UPDATE

Mike,

On 2511 the turn signal bulb in the middle of the tachometer is also a two pin socket. That may be due to the early four pin flasher 2511 originally came with; it has been converted to a three pin and rewired to retain its function. That bulb originally received its ground through the four pin flasher but with the conversion it is simply grounded to the chassis. 

To satisfy your curiosity, I am using a new solid-state dimmer and it needs to be wired as its own isolated circuit with hot and ground both only supplied through the dimmer.
 
The two sockets I seek will be used for lighting in the tachometer and speedometer and rather than adapt a later design socket, the task will be much easier just finding the two pin version which I know to exist. 

UPDATE—-

I spent some more time and finally figured out how to remove the metal pins from the plastic sockets, which are the same, so actually two more single pin versions plus my two could be cannibalized and used to create the two pin versions I need. 

Mike, my address is in the roster. ;-)
