Rega Planar 2 Refurb

I'm currently in the process of refurbishing a Rega Planar 2 that I rescued from an attic.

The dustcover and plinth were covered in acrylic paint, which I have carefully removed and restored the dustcover with plastic polish.
I have a RP1 Performance Pack to replace the belt, cartridge and mat; and a bearing upgrade kit.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Has anyone tried/succeeded or have any advice on rewiring the RB250 arm?
2. I'm looking for the decal that should adorn the top of the dust cover, the one I'm refurbishing is missing, if anyone has a broken dustcover with a decal I'd be interested?

I just got done rebuilding a Planar 3 from parts.  Came out fantastic.

Brit Audio can rewire the arm.  Michael's one of the best.

Joel at Audiowood has quite a few parts.  I know he has the complete dustcover, but might have a decal/badge.

+1 on the AudioMod arms. I have (2) of them and they are indeed excellent. Jeff’s a good guy to deal with too.

Inspire HiFi in the UK has some really nice table upgrades also.
