All the SEL's had the same S/V - even the Minor.

I know a man who's got the right size die!

Some SEL's (only the Minor I think) had a dummy SV. It looked like the standard item but was solid and as such had no moving parts. I've no idea why they did this or even when they made them.

That's weird - are you sure what you saw was factory fitted and not something a previous owner made up to plug the hole?

I can't imagine why the makers would go to all the trouble of fitting a dummy when they had a standard unit already!

On the other hand, if Mike's got one as well... or is it the same one?
