24 volt bulb holder for main cab lighting

We are looking for a source for 24 Volt bulb holders so we can convert the down stairs and upstairs main cabin lighting back to its original condition. We have removed all the fluresant lighting but there is no fittings behind them as you sometimes find.

My bus number (if any): RM1807

Saloon lighting fittings are hard to find and expensive as lots of people had the same idea of reverting to tungsten bulbs. They occasionally come up on eBay. You could try this lot

Busworks had a large batch made and they were fitted to RM471 when they removed the flourescents. They are indistinguishable from the original.

My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471 & 2213. GS 17
