AB has sockets but I'm sure L8, RN, and Trevor @ RovahFarm will have them too.
Any way you go the sockets are not expensive at all.

Replaced the original radiator after it sprung a leak the other day just after I replaced a part on my 88 RRC. Got jealous I guess. The new radiator is a Nissens brand. Direct fit, so an easy but messy job.

Key fob stopped working. Cracked it open and found two solder points on one of the micro switches had degraded and were no longer connected. Grabbed the soldering iron and fixed up the connections. All good now. Replaced the battery too for the hell of it.

Once I get the radiator fixed and rear drive shaft, I'll mosy on with the rear lights. I found complete tail light sets on Ebay, which might be what I need as both the socket and the surrounding tail light plastic are melted. Good thing I keep a fire extinguisher in the thing.

Finally hunted down where the water leaking into the cabin is coming from - “...D’oh!”

#6-32 countersunk. Removed the inserts that the plastic stems went into and ran a tap through them by hand. Epoxied them back in. Waited. And Bob's your uncle.

belt tensioner pully bearing. SKF 6203-2RSJ

It was the original and wasn't showing any specific signs of deterioration...but after 22 years it was time.
