Dual socket
I did not use the upper insulator with the tab
Added 2 short pieces of heat shrink below insulator
Need 2 file off the 2 tabs on the bulb
Then with a pair of pliers squeeze the socket to make a snug fit, top part only you want the spring and contact plate to be free to move to make a good connection
Align the bulb contacts with the pins on the socket and push the bulb in
You can also add a zip tie to tighten the bulb to the socket
Added 5 more pics
Painted inside of lens holder with chrome metallic paint
Other pic show it working
I was using a 12 volt bulb and only had a 6 volt battery so the lights would be brighter if it was powered by a 12 volt source
If anybody does this let me know how it works for you
Not a bad upgrade for $2.99 and a little labor

Paint
While the bike is apart Im going to go through as much as I can and clean it up. Good chance to look at all the bushings and seals. Good winter project.
R60/2 rebuild
I think the best thing to do now is start a new "rebuild" post to reflect what Im doing. At best it will only be a partial restoration so look for a post called 1968 R60/2 Partial Restoration.
