Carello rear light lamp holder? slightly geeky...

[Andie]

hello - my rear light unit - carrello 6.135.580 has previously been soldered into the loom. Which is fine, nice and secure, but a bit scruffy...
The bulb holder is now filled with solder.

I've searched for bulb/lamp holder but can't find one - I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of a suitable replacement holder?

It appears to be just crimped over on the lens side of the unit.

Thanks

I have an original bulb holder from my SX, don't know the part number but it's yours if you want it Andie,

Thanks Rich' - PM on its way

hello

I am still working on this. Rich' kindly had a look but the SX part he had spare wasn't an option.

I need to remove the bulb holder, which is crimped in, and 52 years old so I have little confidence in it coming out and going back safely - the unit will then be blasted and powder-coated.

If anyone has experience of replacing this part I'd be grateful, many google searches (including Carello sites) haven't gleaned anything useful.





Thanks - Andrew

I gently bent the ears back on mine ,lost a few in the process.
Once back together after painting I used some metal glue to hold it more securely in place,as in stop it turning when installing the bulb.
