Threaded bit for table lamp - lacking Google-fu.

Apr 26, 2016 4 Replies

We have a table lamp, hollow ceramic base, the lamp holder has a female threaded base, with a male threaded bit that was held in place with a nut into the top of the ceramic base..



The threaded bit has broken. A simple fix, but I can't seem to find the bit to buy, threaded lampholders yes, but not the bit that it screws onto. My normal place for such bit locally, a independent hardware store doesn't have them.. I seem to be lacking the necessary Google-fu to find one online. Even ebay.



Can any one point me to a supplier


Pillar nipple??

It's called a base plate for threaded lampholder.

Maybe not quite what you want but a scroll through listings from there on ebay may find it.
