The manual with template IS INCLUDED WITH THE SCREWS as I have posted many
times, what I have put together is a complete 4:1 gear set with all the
items needed to mount on an existing radio or one that will need the mod,
assuming that most folks are getting it for a radio that currently does not
have the 4:1 gear set installed.
I have done a LOT of work on this project and although I appreciate your
comments please try real hard to not second guess me on this, maybe in the
future you could read the complete post before making such a statement like
this?????

Thanks & 73's Dutch

The 4:1 will fit nicely on a 75A-4 or KWS-1, but every receiver before that
(A-1, 2, 3, 51J) will require a template for drilling holes as the panels
were
not tapped at the factory. Something to keep in mind. Dutch, you might
consider
making up a template and including it with the sets like the original
versions
had.
