Got one on the shelf which was alledgedy in good working order, ebay purchase last year, think it was off a cherokee.

Spose I was really asking if its just easier to swap them over & get the original overhalled as a spare again or is it just a simple tweak thats required.

MJS needed I think.

Pics taken on old phone & I was in a hurry  :icon_redface:
