Stoplight socket question.

[George1348]

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, its the only place I could think to ask about this.
I recently bought a stop light from a guy and as the attached pictures show, the socket doesn't have any contacts in it. Does anyone make any sort of replacement contacts to put in there, or should I just melt the solder that's holding the socket in there and replace it with a new one? It's supposed to be a single contact socket, judging from the part of a plug that was in it. But I can only find double contact replacements.
Also, for those wondering why it looks the way it does, it was pretty rusty inside and out so I sandblasted it. And no, there weren't any contacts in the socket before I did. All that was in there was some spider webs and dirt.

It uses a different type of socket Check with Lang's or Snyder's.

Don't know if that socket was a replacement or original that had been soldered in. My suggestion would be to buy a new complete socket and solder it in, replacing the one that is in there. Most auto parts stores should have them. You could hide the plastic wire in some of the asphalt loom.

I have several single contact, spring loaded plugs - send me a note through here.
