#57 bulb instrument cluster sockets

****EDIT**** Found what I was looking for - thank you!

I’m restoring a 1961 Starfire instrument cluster for a friend and I need at least 5 of the cluster bulb sockets as shown in the pics below. I don’t need the #57 bulbs but would take them. If you have some of these, please let me know! Thanks!

#57 bulb instrument cluster sockets

Any idea on what years they were used? I have lots of misc. dash parts. Thanks, Bob.

These are from a '61 Starfire dash cluster, so my guess would be pre-'64...? Maybe as far back as mid-50's. The odd part is the 90-degree contact points instead of the more modern 180-degree. They're also much larger at the base than the later push-in bulb sockets.

I found some. They are part # 2962988 socket. And the bulbs I had got them from Jackson Electric Supply Company - bulb ba9s. There are three different numbers, I forget which one was for what but its listed in the service manual - B53, B57, B90.

You're welcome.
They will probably be the least expensive thing you buy for that car, lol
