Restoring Tail Light Housings

[PDXk5]

I’m going to be sending off my tail light housings (and a series of other parts) to have zinc plated.

Does anyone have a source for these brass 1157 bayonet connector sleeves?

I pulled out the brass bulb connector sleeves so they won’t get plated when I send in the housings. Maybe not a good idea to have done that. One came out easy, the other one I bent during removal. It might work but I will surely replace it, if I can buy new ones.

I found some online with pig tails and some that had a bottom but none that were tube type sleeves like our trucks have. I know the whole assembly is made as a reproduction, so someone makes the sleeves just not sure they sell them seperately.

Thanks
