Upper and lower shell are different on the S2 motors, the upper is the uprated one. There is a thread on here from years ago talking about the difference in materials and coatings, splutter process or something like that. Prob in one of MarkH or Dougs threads. I was advised to fit the upper shells for both top and bottom.

P.S. The ones i got were 034 105 701B 40Z, £7.63 each. (Yellow/Violet)

So I should use 40Z for top and bottom?
