Yes I'll do the job right , solder , heat shrink wrap,new conduit . This Dak was was manufactured in Aug 1990 and now has 109,000 miles or 176,000 kilometers on it , good condition , 21 yrs old . I'll paint these sockets on the outside with rust protection coating .

None of the parts stores had the back-up socket listed . I went to an auto wreckers and opened up 6 Dakotas , all sockets were rough to paper thin . 2 sets of sockets can be refurbished .
