Here is the spare part for that buffer 999-703-035-50 and photos here https://www.stoddard.com/nla70303550-99 ... 0-nla.html The open face is installed outwards and ages to look like the photo above (red car) -- quite a different shape than the earlier version (A thru T-6) that really looked like a buffer. In C cars, two are used -- but only one is specified for Carrera 2 for some reason.

Interesting Brad. How long has that part been available? I don't remember seeing it 7 years ago when I redid my 64C?

Joris,

Here's one from my 64C. Are you looking for a particular view?

To answer Doug above --- Stoddard NLA has sold that part since 1999. Part number is now NLA-703-035-50.
