The wire broke off of one of my tach lights. I've searched and cannot find a source for a replacement bulb holder that I can attach to the wire. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows a source for this.

I have a cut up wire harness for this type of situation.
What is the color of the wire for the light? I might be able to match it. Here is an example of it. Yours for free, you pay for shipping! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)  |

That can be repaired just don't lose the contact that will fall out when you remove the bulb.
If you want to splice in another one I've got a few. I can send it out today to you or to Mary's if that works better.  |

Thanks, Ed. How about if I just get it from you when I'm at your place if I still need it. I may try to repair, but couldn't figure out how to get it apart so that I can reach the connector.
