One more point, Jeff. When working on the tub, look for the Rockwell manufacturers decal. This is a rectangular blue and white sticker, located randomly on most tubs.

Because if it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck, my decal was perfectly located underneath one of the brace legs. I was careful not to disturb the decal, but because of its location, mine's not visible when the brace is assembled to the tub. If I'd have thought to take a photo of the decal when I had the assembly apart, I'd share it here. Sorry. Perhaps others have a photo of this decal?

Here is a photo.

Thanks Don and Paul. Unfortunately no decal on my tub.

There are later versions of the stickers. I discuss a service part from "Rockwell International" at:

I used acetone and a scratch pad. It did a great job of removing multiple coats of paint. I was lucky though as most of them were lacquer.
