Hi guys-

   In the past the Woodcraft store in my area has carried these.  Doing a visual comparison might be worth it.

       Hi Chris,
 See attached photo’s. There are
 5 catches. The ones on the lid have a footprint of about 25
 * 7 mm and a height of 10 mm. The ones inside the Tron have
 a footprint of 43 x 7.5 mm and are also 10 mm
 high.
 I’m not 100% sure that these
 are the original ones, so maybe somebody else can do a quick
 check and verify. But I don’t see any markings that
 anything was different in the past.
 Kind regards,Ben

 Thanks
 Ben for the links.
 I
 would like to order some ball catches/strikes for my M400.
 One problem, though: I see there are varying lengths of the
 catches (and strikes), at least among the links you have
 shared. I would want something that is as close as possible
 to what the majority of M400s have. Anyone know the
 lengths/dimensions of their lid catches and the
 corresponding strikes? Or someone that can measure
 them?
 Cheers,
 Chris
