Which Kato Brass Worms for LL SW?

For those of you who have replaced the stock plastic worms on the LL N scale SW motor, which Kato brass worms did you use (Part #)? I can't tell if they are all the same or not from photos.

Thanks!

Currently, they appear to be sold out.

I ordered some a few years ago. Don't think they came with that extra hardware in Peteski's photo. Had some other pieces with them, though. Thought a lot of the Kato worms would fit the LL SW's. Does really make a difference!

I can't take credit for that.  :)
I also agree that many of the Kato's worms for the older models are most likely the same - some of the new ones have much finer pitch.

Yes, almost any of the older worms will work.

For example, the E8 worm will work

but they show a 1/2016 delivery.  (if you can wait that long).
