Nick,
I know that you found the set this way, but . . . . .
Whenever one removes a HV socket or any socket made of this type of plastic, do NOT use lock washers when reinstalling. Lock washers just start cracks!
Use a flat washer and do not snug it. Once gently in place, lock the screw head with a dab of corona dope (or nail polish, or any other thick paint), taking care to avoid getting any paint on the threads.
