Larry—I can cannibalize a spare fuel gauge to send you a couple of one-prong sockets if your need is truly desperate. However the sockets are part of the gauge assembly and that renders the gauge only partly useable to someone unless they are replacing an existing stock gauge and can swap the sockets over. 

I would urge you to exhaust other avenues first. I suspect these things can be bought quite cheaply?
