Thanks for this information. I have several of these first stages, and am checking mine now. One does not have that punch mar, but it is not being used at present. I'll check the others soon.

I'll check mine. If I have one with the shim, I'll model it and see if it prints ok in ABS.

Thanks a lot Fred I need someone smarter on it than me to determine if plastic is a viable material for it (and still need to dig out my Calypsos to check if I have the castellated shim). Provided all that I'll try to get a few made.

James, only my opinion here, but, ABS should be more than enough: my thought being that the incident was rare, although not impossible. Think of it like being those few extra winds of baling-wire to help keep the car's wheel on JB

Rereading the assembly instructions, I saw the mention of a brass eyelet in step 15. That would be the piece I asked about above. Is the eyelet a part of the retrofit or is it a part of the original seat?
