I am happy to help those who help themselves. You can find the answer by perusing the spares manual, available free on Christian's Archive site: archives.jampot.dk You will also find the service manuals & many other related documents & photos. The North American Section of the AJSMOC re-manufactures many of the tin bits unique to the scramblers & lists: 029760, Rear number plate, 1963-on CS singles at US$30.

Donate some loose change to Christian, who maintains the site & equipment at no charge to visitors. Cheers, Don.

No offense intended, Jeff. We get a lot of questions here, many of which we do not have an answer without researching it, so concentrate on the ones that the owner is unable to solve with simple searches. I would like all needing help to at least have copies of the spares lists & service manuals, which are available without cost. Some of us spend a lot of time looking for the solutions to other's problems. Cheers, Don.
