I am looking for a set of mounting brackets and bulb mounts for snowflake tail lights.

They sell repros (at EIS?), but the 'cutoff' is 58 to 61.

55-57 is usually the SBL17's (unless it's a Euro) and the 58-61's are the 'dollar' taillights (larger, flatter and muuch cheaper, lucky you!).  What year is your bus?

it is for my drag car.  The repros, I was told, are crappy quality and I have to make sure things stay where they are suppose to when the slicks stick!  I do have buses 60, 60, 61, 65, and 91

Well you heard wrong.  :)  For the part you need, the repro will probably be better than anything original you find.  The bulbholder won't be all rusty/corroded and the bracket is just a bracket (hard to screw up).

The 'crappy' part is the ring and glass.  The repros are atrocious, but you already have those so no  worries.  Unless you have SBL's, you need the dollar taillight stuff.  If you have SBL's, sell them to me :)

Oops!  Sorry, I thought it sounded weird to put bus lights on a bug.  I know NOTHING about bugs so I will bow out and defer to your knowledge.
