silverfox4 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I wonder if the new individual holders I got are old stock or the problem has not been sorted - part number is 161-915, so it must sourced from Moss. Alf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well if ordinary bulbs fit them OK it can't be a problem with the holders..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfox4 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 just received some different LED's from ClassicCarLeds and they fit in both the new and original bulb holders without any issue. The thread profile is also seems to be a good match to an original bulb - go figure? I can only assume the Bettercarlighting versions could be from a bad batch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfox4 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 By way of an update, it's success at last though Its been awhile. For the claw holders, I removed the innards of the repro holders and transferred the spring and pigtail to the original holders. Also taking Stuarts comment into account, I gently filed the original holder to open it out ever so slightly. Now all good. For the push type holders in the small gauges - they were also all scrap, and there was no similar easy repair for the screw type bulbs. However Duncan at Classic Car LEDs provided the solution; namely convert the LED bulbs to bayonet style and use with his replacement push holder. All good now. Thanks to every one who contributed to my dilemma Cheers, Alf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
