Another Shot of the Socket Bracket Poor thing is nasty. It's two pieces. One is bolted to the top of the reflector from the inside and is stationary. The second piece is what the socket attaches to and is supposed to be adjustable via two screws on either side where the reflector hole it. It's all rusted to one piece now, screws included. What's supposed to happen is you loosen the two screws, pinch the sides together, and move the socket to the next set of notches and retighten. Similar to the original M-250A/M-400A socket bracket if you're familiar with it. Keywords: American_Streetlights

Sounds like bit like the B2255 bracket although the B2255 had a cast piece mounted on the reflector. The R47 used a simple stamped steel bracket, the socket was actually held on and adjusted using a hose clamp.

I wish this used a cast aluminum cap instead of a rubber one. I tossed the rubber one since there wasn't much left of it. I tossed the reflector/refractor gasket too since it was cracked and yucky. I should be able to source another pretty easily since they're all the same...

If worse comes to worst I could bolt a flat piece of sheet metal over the opening and just mount the socket directly to that (non-adjustable). I'd have to check but the lamp should be roughly centered (an ED23.5). Since even if I somehow get new brackets fabricated, the gaping hole will be a problem.
