Speedo bulb holders

Post by Propshaft »

Hi. I have nearly completed a rewire on my van , has anyone had problems with the quality of the bulb holders which fit into the back of the speedo . The metal is stopping in the speedo and the white plastic just drops off . Thinking about reusing the original ones i.e. Cutting off the new and soldering the old ones on ,anyone else experienced this or is it just me .

Yes I had this problem on 2 looms Ive fitted, but I didnt want to start altering a brand new loom so stuck with them, I would say if you cut them off it would wreck any guarantee on the loom if you have a problem.
