Hi Ron,

Well, I wish I had a better answer for yuor bulb question but I don't. 
Here goes, The bulbs are still made and available from a wholesale
electrical house.  To find them is another question.  If you were to
walk into a electrical distributer, BTW these are who the public can
purchase through, he will hand you a book.  The book is about 1" thick
has about a zillion different types of lights in them.  It is not
organized by style, voltage, or part number.  You have to go page by
page to find the right bulb.  Which I might add is not stocked locally,
but in milwalkee(sp?) or Patahuchie or somewhere you are not.  The hard
part is you are ordering from a catalog and must pay in advance.  The
product may not even have a picture.

To make a long story short, I know too late, Try Moss.  You could try
Norman Nock British Car Specialties in Stockton, CA.  I don't know where
he gets his lamps from but that is where mine came from.  Let me know if
you his number.

Let me look around for the curtain screws, I may have the short version
in my screw bin.  You did know there are two different lengths didn't
you.  They both work fine as far as I can tell.

Rick
