69 Taillight Sockets
 

Anyone know where I can get a taillight socket for a 69? I was surprised they were not in the Ames catalog or Year One.
Previous owner removed the backup light sockets and stuck something else in there.
Also did they have just the one wire for that socket? Thats all that's there now.
Thanks in advance!

Hope this pic helps, it is an M&H harness from Ames. It is like a part time job keeping the 69 tail lights working, horrible design. I never had this much trouble with my 70 which was encased, much better design.

Yes 1 wire
The ground is the braided strap
The straps oxidize and need a lite scuffing
I should have a pair of originals at the other garage
I may go there today but tomorrow afternoon is more likely

Umm, yeah, but do they look as good? No! 😉

Thanks Guys! I just picked up a nice used trunk harness. Probably just switch harnesses. Thanks, Scott, for the tip on the braided ground. That was always an issue. I would wiggle it around and then they would work, I'm going to clean everything up as I change it out.
