Screw #4 used to be shorter than screw #20, just as you see in the drawing at the top. The new models have done away with this short screw and now use the larger screws as well. You can retrofit without problems. * the metal housing with bezel does not include the plastic sockets. The bezel is already mounted as is the bezel lock screw. Sockets will have to be ordered separately, if needed. ** if you replace the rack, you will also have to replace the adhesive scale (#26). *** four plastic sockets are used in assembling this gage. Two each of the round and the oblong types. This is a reference to the shape of the opening, not the shape of the socket. Crystal replacement for current models: the old crystals are removed with a simple tool that acts like a suction cup. You can improvise other methods but you're likely to cause damage. If the bezel is still round and in very good condition, you can probably just press the new crystal in place using your thumbs. If the bezel is dented or bent out of shape, then it's best to leave this to someone with the right tools.
