    Try 'Restoration Supply' in California. They specialize in early auto parts,and had the ceramic burners for gas lamps. Great people to deal with.

      Replacement burner tips:
      I know I am late on commenting on this thread as I just found it, but just in case.
      Make sure you get a burner tip with the right gas flow. Burner tips come in different gas flow sizes depending on the size of the lamp.
      If too large of a gas flow, it will burn up your lamp. Most burner for car lamps are ¾, which will have too much flow, as for motorcycle lamps which are ½ or less.
      Make sure the “Y” is front to back, not sideways. If sideway, it will not put out much light.
      Make sure your burner is in the right location. There is adjustment in the mounting for front to back, as well as the burner come in different heights. These two issues are needed for proper focusing of the light beam.
