Looking for clips & light bulb housing

Hi everyone.  I'm looking for some small parts for our '54 Hornet.  The back-up light bulb housings/sockets are in sad shape.  I might be able to clean them up but if there is a source for them, I'd prefer to go that route.  Also, I'm looking for the metal clips that hold the door panels to the door.  Any leads would be appreciated, thanks.

    Something to think about. Many of us have gone to the dual filament sockets for the back-up lamps.   They too can be found in the clip type very easy at NAPA. (they are the same ones you use in the front and turn signal lamps.) Wire both the filament wires together and get far better light then a single filament without having to resort to obsolete or difficult to source high wattage bulbs. 

    Just putting another idea out there for your consideration.  If you are a  purest you won't do this.  but it is an idea.
