Ones on the left are production done in the 90s IIRC. The ones on the right are period ones. I have some in pairs in boxes, never seen that in the UK, they were all sold singly over here. The boxes came from Australia originally.
Not sure if I've said this Roo but those discs, when they come they must be fitted with the fronds facing the same direction as the Dremel rotates. Easy way to do this is to look at the disc, one side has a small indent/hole, face this indent to it faces the Dremel and they are the correct orientation. My BIL just bought some after watching me clean some of his pieces and he complained the fronds were hitting him in the face, he clearly didn't read the instructions on the Amazon page.
Not sure if you've got a Dremel Flexible shaft for your Dremel Roo but if not let me know and I may have a spare one lying around. I've returned 3 Dremels under warranty and they always send a brand new boxed kit in return so I had some spare shafts, just given my BIL one and my daughter has claimed one to but I may have another somewhere. The difference the shaft makes is amazing.

Top tip Ken, thanks mate, I was going to ask but thought they looked fairly self explanitiry tbh but appreciate the heads up buddy.
A flexible end would be great, I have them for the various drills and for screwdrivers etc but not for the dremel. Mine's a bit shagged out and been usd to death but working fine still so Im not going to update it until this one dies. A flrxible end bit would be ace mate if you can spare it, youre a gent, cheers.
I figured those were original shells bud haven't seen any like that for ages, only ordered them yesterday, Charlotte is good in their office, she clocks order mistakes and lets you know when you've had that part already or if a kit you order has the extra part in it or whatever. Shes been brilliant at Silver's throughout the 400 build and now the 550. I know they're dear and that the postage is astronomical but, as 99% of Honda dealers are, they are good and dead swift, bless em.
Right, have to ask cos I see it often but have no idea, what does IIRC stand for................I AM Northen after all!! ;D
Trigger:
Did you get your crank measured up with a mic Roo ?
Did come in pairs in boxes in the UK. Also came in singles. Here is one dated 1988

My conrods had that light surface rust so I soaked them in Evaporust - they came out like new castings.
