MK1 Sidelight Holders?

[jon]

Hi

Both of the sidelight bulb holders have gone brittle, and the locating lugs have snapped off. Autolink appear to have a replacement, but only have one in stock:

www.autolinkmx5.com/sidelight-bulb-holder--wiring-loom-repair-section-for-mazda-mx-5-mk1-sidelamp-9101-p.asp

MX5parts have the originals at £20+ quid each. 

Does anyone have another source for these holders - I'd look at the mazdamenders forum but apparently I'm a forum spammer and have banned so it won't let me register!

Thanks - I found a whole load of holders on ebay but didn't know if any of them actually fit or not...

At £1.65 it's probably just worth taking a punt...

Zed wins!

They arrived today - they are a) rubber rather than plastic, and b) have 4 locating tabs rather than two. 

Because of b) they need altering, but because of a) that takes 30 seconds with a pair of scissors. Top job
