These things pop out regularly. Detail associates makes some, anyone know if these are suitable replacements. I only need two.

I used them after a little tweaking and en weathered to blend in with the rest of the truck.

Are you talking about the newer Walthers units or the older run Life Like P2K versions?

I asked about replacement journals a few years back as I have 11 LL P2K E-units and have a few journals missing.

What tweaking is required for them to fit? Also, are the roller bearing versions available as well?

Antonio, the P2K is an older model - factory SP Bloody Nose scheme with roller bearings. The tweaking needed was to remove material (file work) as they were way too thick. Either DA or DW but I do not remember which.

Thinking a speed recorder might work too.

I did a bit of searching and here’s what I found on Walthers website:

Frustratingly, they’re shown as not being in stock.

I just snagged a pack of each elsewhere online!
