You can find these light sockets in a lot of different pumps and I find myself in need of 2 of the aluminum mounting bases!
If they ever get hit, they seem to break off the mounting posts and become useless?
If any one has a couple of complete units, or even just the bottom mounting plates, it would help me out greatly.
It has to be from one of these 2 piece porcelain light sockets, or it won't be the same.
I just don't want to use the new reproductions unless I'm forced to?
Thank you a lot to anyone that might have a couple of these units!

Hi, Kevin. Does the porcelain part mount to the metal base with two or three screws? Couldn't tell for certain in your photo. I have a metal base with two tapped holes in it, that takes a two-piece porcelain socket much like yours. If my base (two socket mounting screws) works for you, you're welcome to it. I can send you a photo, if that would help. John

Takes 2 mounting screws John! Might as well send me a photo so we don't waste postage, but I bet it will work.

Kevin, it would be super, if I could give you a hand for change....since you've helped me any number of times in the past few years! I'll get you a couple of photos on Monday. John

Thanks to Bill jr and Jolly John, I will be able to complete the wiring on my Wayne 800 with original parts! Repops would have worked but I would have known they were in there, and it would have bothered me. These guys were generous enough to send me these parts without compensation and I want to publically thank them for their generosity!
THANKS GUYS!

Hi, Kevin. You've been so helpful to me over the years, it was my pleasure to finally be able to do a little something (very minor!) for you. Best, John
