<VV> Need front turnsignal socket for '64 FC

[Frank DuVal]

Bob,

Pg 99 in the Clarks catalog shows the lousy plastic housings you need, C 
2558. The picture next to the 60-64 front turn signal listing (C 2558) 
is for the 65-69 front turn signal socket (C 5104). Look at the picture 
on the left side of the page next to 65-69 taillight (#2  also C 2558).

Most people think the all steel socket is better, although not stock. On 
an FC I think these sockets are hidden, so you could get away with it. 
Hre is one example:

I have run a short #4 sheet metal screw through several of those plastic 
sockets to keep the metal ground shell from pulling out. Works well, and 
cheap.
