head light socket terminal
 

Greetings all: I want to repair the head light sockets in my 37 sedan. Can't seem to find a supplier for the light socket wire terminals that contact the bulb terminals that I would use on my own wire. Any Ideas? Thanks for your time.

I believe all of the replacement wiring suppliers have them. Most suppliers are happy to assist. Check their web sites. It takes a special crimper to crimp but the wire can be inserted and soldered in place.
Small Brass Button
Price Chart A6
.200 Head Diameter.
.132 Shaft Diameter. Brass.

For tail light terminals and probably headlamp terminals I have used small tubular rivets and solder wires into the ends. Then use some small shrink tubing to cover the solder joint. Has always worked good for me.
