Lucas 576 lights

[Michael Oritt]

I have a pair of Lucas 576 lights that are shown in a photo of the car from 1957. The shells are in great shape and I upgraded to new bulbs some years back but I am having some issues with the contacts between the bulb holder and the bulb on one of them. Specifically the copper strips into which the wires feed and which make contact with the bulb base have lost their "springiness" and I must periodically open up the light and rebend the strips which, needless to say, only weakens them further.

Does anyone know of a source for parts for these old lamps or does anyone make a modern, more positive bulbholder?

John--

BINGO! Thanks so much and I will be ordering a couple of those as the lamps are both of the same vintage.

I had the same problems with my 576 lights and I bought the new socket strips from Jolly Rogers.
