slowrider Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 01/04/02 Posts: 74 Loc: rice lake wisconsin	Iuse a 51 halfton with 6volt systmn as my daily driver.Irecently had a voltage spike blow out all my bulbs.I have purchaced 2 different brands of 1147 and they are too loose in the socket.I beleive The socket may have a broken spring.Can i use a 12 volt lite with a 6 volt bulb to get me back on the road till i go to a swap meet?Thanks Ron. _________________________ 1942 1/2 Ton. 1951 1/2 Ton. 59 cushman scooter.1960 biscayne Sedan. 1966 c/30 motorhome http://community.webshots.com/user/ratmann1
