bulb holders?

I need the bulb holders for the bulbs on the early fuel gauge and oil/temp. Anyone have a junk harness they can scavenge from? Generic ones don't seem like they'd work (for what I have in mind anyway).

Are these the holders that go outside of the gauge and are held by the mounting brackets?

Yep. Just a sleeve with one wire, ground provided via mount (but I'm adding "real" grounds.

I need two. I picked up a pack of generic ones from radio shack but I'd have to attach them (screw them onto something) and I think that would make bulb changing down the road a huge pain. Normally they just press fit into those rings hanging off the gauge mounts I believe. I don't have those mounts either so I'm trying to come up something completely different. I might be able to make the generic ones work yet though. Hopefully I'll get a chance to mess with it tonight.
