Has anyone made a E10 base (old school thread-in bulb) bi-pin adapter?

Not that I am aware of.
But with the advent of finding this new socket element it should be easy.
Get a bulb and save the base and install this ceramic socket with ceramic or high temp epoxy. You can cut down the stem with a dremel disk.
Here is a process that I took a picture of when I built a G4 for a Mag Charger.
I do not know where to get these but take a look, I have used them (some given to me) in my builds. I used to make and sell bi pin to pr G4 sockets.
That would work perfectly. Maybe someplace like terminal supply would carry it (or something similar). What sort of ceramic adhesive would you reccomend? Nd what stem are you referring to?

The ceramic socket that would fit down into the base has a long ceramic stem that holds its metal conectors. It can be trimmed off and shortened. I also have taken out the conectors and put better wire on them.
I have use Arctic Alumina for building one or two in the past. I have also used products from:

quite an assortment, for small jobs they sell epoxy.
Thanks. Now I need to source the holder...
