It takes constant rubbing and it is almost always plastic, so it is one of the first things to wear out in a well-used AEG. The symptom is familiar: the selector feels vague, semi starts doubling, or the gun refuses to leave safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHS build affordable internal components for AEGs, and this is the plain reinforced version of their Version 2 plate — a straight replacement in high-grade polymer rather than a performance part. It fits most Version 2 series metal gearboxes. Version 2 shells do vary between manufacturers, so it is worth comparing the old plate against the new one before reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a job worth doing while the shell is already open. If you are in there replacing a spring, a piston or a set of contacts, a fresh selector plate costs almost nothing and saves stripping the gearbox again in six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#1B3A6B;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eVersion 2 gearbox selector plate, reinforced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHigh-grade polymer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMost Version 2 series metal gearboxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSHS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eManufacturer part code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSHS-08-009568\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSingle plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eGood to know before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the standard reinforced plate, not a low-resistance or performance part — it restores correct selector function rather than changing trigger behaviour.

Those symptoms can also come from a worn detent or the cut-off lever, so inspect all three once the shell is open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit my gearbox?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt suits most Version 2 series metal gearboxes. Version 2 shells differ slightly between manufacturers, so lay the old plate on the new one and check the cutouts line up before you build the shell back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it the same as the low-resistance plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNo. This is the standard reinforced plate.
