Am going to solder leads to the bottom of the bulbs and then wedge them in the fittings.....


Leads soldered on, and bulbs packed with copper tape and wedged in the holes! All working as they should.

Annoyingly, there does seem to be a UK shortage of 4.7mm bullet crimp connectors, Can get my usual type for love nor money, and don't like the brass solder/crimp type....
