Anchor light base parts

I'm not sure the last time my anchor pole light was detached from its base. I went to remove it which was very difficult and the contact prongs in the base came with it. Everything was corroded. I cleaned up the pole really nice with corrosion x but now the base is missing the contact prongs.

I have a hard time justifying spending the money on a new base and also wasting a good base for just the contacts. I did a bit of searching online and cant find replacement contacts for the base. I'm almost tempted to try to crimp the contacts I have and put them back in the base. Anybody have experience with this or should I just buy a new base?

The light is the same as below which I believe came on most of our c dorys

Although I am away from home, I will offer you my base fitting when I get back there in a few weeks. I moved the all around light from the "pole" to another pole on top of the Radar strut. I have disconnected the original base, and it is just sitting on the boat. I believe it is in good shape.
