The important part is that the tab is probably 3 times as thick as the original. Which says to me that field failures of the tabs was a significant problem.

I will do a close dimensional comparison and get back with what I find. The design of these look to be a far better design to copy. I'll be able to give a full life cycle test result ten years after I install one of them.

Thanks to everybody who gave assistance and suggested avenues of research.

Cheers Phil
Good to hear that you have the parts to get Beauty back safely together Phil. I revisted one of your old messages which had the link to when you took everything apart and you ended the message by writing More about refitting and reassembly to follow Just wondering if you did take the photos and if they have been posted somewhere yet? Merry Christmas.

Kind Regards
Lionel
