On my second RT got the first one new in 2016 (1200LE ) bought this one new Jan 23 (1250 LE)

Hi I managed to fit them to a new key but only used 4 of the leaves. However was not totally happy so dropped in on a local dealer and they gave me some, so somewhere I do have quite a number of them spare I can try and find them and post you a few.
