SF#56 Which box please??

Post by motorman »

Need help to determine which box is the correct one for this rare SF#56 Thin wheel wide wheel arch variant. I thought the type "F" or "G" box would be contempary to this model but i am not certain.

Can anyone help??

Hi Motorman,

I think type G box for this one. The sequence probably went like this:

Gold/thin wheels: F, G
Pink/Salmon- thin wheels: G
Orange - thin wheels and thick wheels: G
Orange - Thick wheels: H

Cheers,
Gavin

Gavin and Christian many thanks, that has cleared things up.

I had a gut feeling the "G" box would be right for this model. Cheers.
