First, consult Neal Wright's excellent article on the subject: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=131

Second, here are two photos recovered from the old forum:

Third, ignore all references to Jensen parts. They proved problematic and are no longer available.

Tim Mix had a bunch of plates made, L-R-O, and L-B-R-O depending on your valve
