Title: looking for a dashboard backlight bulb holder for a1984 beta coupe
Post by: Mat Grant on July 20, 2020, 03:35:26 PM
Hi all,

The dash on my Beta coupe has been dim on one side since i got it, but still readable in the dark. However recently the speedo cable broke so I had to take the dash out. (Took a while to find a replacement speedo cable!! but that's another story)

But I noticed one of the bulb holders is missing, so while the dash is out I'm trying to find a bulb holder. Does anyone on here know where I can get one? I've tried looking on line and taking it to my local motor spares places.

Any suggestions welcome - would be good to get one in there, otherwise it will never get done once the dashboard is back in!

Thanks, Mat.

Hi Mat

On the spare dash I have looks like two sizes of bulb holders, are these what you are after and if so which size?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick reply - yes it's the larger of the two. My dash has both those types of bulb holders, lots of the smaller ones for the various warning lights, and four of the larger ones (well three in my case) for backlighting.
