Just to point out though that the original screws from a P85 or P83 (in my experience) can be used ok with this newer P86 Millennium Strainer (from the outside of the shell in). I actually read your advice beforehand, but then as it turns out I actually found it preferable to use the existing fixings whilst changing them over on 2 Supraphonics (a 400 from 1965 and a 402 from around 1980). This was specifically as the new supplied screws with the P86 have a slightly wider thread diameter and they did not want to fit through the existing screw-holes without force (which I wasn’t about to do). So the existing screws worked out fine, no problem, although I did still use those new black washers as you suggested. Which ever way works well is fine though and it is a really nice strainer.Dan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174809110364935129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291590886585083548.post-38358378562384778822012-03-16T23:32:43.511-04:002012-03-16T23:32:43.511-04:00Because the Rocker does not use a P85 - the throw-...Because the Rocker does not use a P85 - the throw-off on the rocker (and the Accent series is not a P85 and the hole spacing is different.Mike Tarranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913542775337600817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291590886585083548.post-90278312058645957622012-03-16T23:06:23.641-04:002012-03-16T23:06:23.641-04:00Hello, you say that the distance between the screw...Hello, you say that the distance between the screws is the same from the P85 to the P86, then why will the P86 not work on a Bronze Rocker?
