    If you have the old one, it can be rebuilt.

    Thanks , but the old was is missing most parts and really a mess. I searched the web and cannot find anything. I would prefer a nice used one , nos, repro or rebuilt already.

    Thanks again

    You can look in Hemmngs or go to certain dealers and run the part number.

    Interesting!! I would not think they would be different so I checked on my Electra 225. 6 bolts on this one too...

    Chris Thanks I got all the pms and I sent you a pm back. I really appreciate you guys trying. Looks like the 62's are 5 bolt also.

    SWeBuick and Chris , Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the six bolt being only a 61 Electra item.
