Thanks for the replies and comments. Mine is unusual in that it has a cast aluminium handle without the subframe to mount the wooden handle that I've seen on all the other 80,s made units and quite unlike my SNO-T. Looks like a cost reduction exercise but as they've had to change the main frame casting to delete the tapped holes it must have been an expensive change. Just needs a rubber eye cup and new mirrors.
