Hello Everyone. I want to upgrade my P 61 with the igniter kit. I found an igniter kit at the link below. But, there are different kits based on serial numbers. I have included a picture of what I believe to be my serial number. 1581. First from the picture can somebody verify this is my serial number? It says WHI So I wasn’t sure. I just want to make sure that the kit below is the right one. Thanks!

Hi Gmadd,

Yes that is your serial number. Since the kit is non-returnable I'd also confirm it with the seller just so there is no unpleasant surprise post purchase. I'll have to say that it seems a bit spendy to me as I've purchased whole *-61-As for less than the cost of that conversion alone.

YMMV,

Hugh

Just curious why they are including a new pusher arm?

Yeah, that’s a strong point. I don’t think I’m going to upgrade it. It’s out of stock anyway. Probably they just don’t make the kit anymore. Thanks.
