Im trying to get hold of the following plastic bayonet light fitting for a family members light unit. It’s from 1930s so is a really dated design - the plastic terminal fits inside a brass holder. I’m hoping you can just get the plastic inner to the brass holder in the photo below ...

A bit unlikely that, a complete brass lamp holder would be easier. They come in a couple of base threads, to fit sleeve nut, plus a threaded tube and a version which just mounts on the end of a flex.
Any of these any help - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...ampholder.TRS0&_nkw=brass+lampholder&_sacat=0

Could you not free the pin up, they sometimes just stick down due to the bulb pressure, small pliers or tweezers pull it up and down a few times till its springy again
New complete lampholders may not fit, you may need an additional thread adapter

Thanks will have a look into those.
I could try and free the pin up but it has burn marks around the plastic where the terminals are. As you say this one has a thread adapter that screws into the wooden frame. I will keep searching !
