1129 forum posts 1 photos	Hi All, Have tried everywhere to find one of these tiny bulbs: The diameter of the screw part is 5.25mm; the length of the bottom metal part is 9mm from the rim to the bottom contact; runs off 2 AA cells. It is for the indicator lamp on an old torque wrench tool. Tried RS, FARNELL etc but no go, any thoughts please? Cheers, Martin
