Does anybody know of a source for the bulb holders that push in the back of the rev counter and speedo. That or something that fits in the hole well enough - it's for a an 1850 counter to fit in the Herald and modded to match the speedo - with a pointer arm off an old Herald speedo. So it's going to need leads making up anyway.

I'll have to check the hole is 5/8ths, but it looks like the one. Thanks

Yes, Autosparks definitely supply them - I had an entirely new loom including new bulb holders made for my Toledo.

I can dig you out a pre-owned one, with a length of the correct colour wire if you so desire.

Thanks for that Steve. I've yet to check, but I realized I should have a spare in the garage, and I'm a ways away from fitting the tacho in the Herald - means swapping in a Vitesse dash I have re-varnished. So I'll get back to you.
