Default Motometer Glo-light

I picked up this little gem at the recent Big 3 swap meet. I know it fastens to the front of a Motometer, but it seems to be missing the light part. Does anyone make a repop part?

NOPE. You will have to 'jury-rig' up something.

Here is a picture with the bulb installed it appears you are missing the bottom tang that contacts the bulb and makes contact with the screw that the power wire is connected to. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have a picture of one of these things in actions?
A motometer that lights up? Sounds pretty cool, I can almost imagine looking down the hood while cruising at night and seeing it.

Any of our local auto parts stores should have a replacement light socket that will fit it.
