IIRC
The 1300 has a F10/5w

and the sri has a f13/5.

So it does have a different box.

Don't no if there would be any benefit of swapping it tho

look on the end of the box for the box code and then tell us what codes they are

u can see W418 next to the earthstrap on that pic, thats what u need to find

tell us which u have and we can tell u what the box is like

its a stonger box i think :?

[benji]

the boxes could be the same, they migt be different. it's a bit hit and miss really. best thing to do is get thebox numbers off both boxes and we will tell you the best on to use

my sri's got an f10 :?

[kev1300sr]

i just went out and had a look but it is almost impossible to make out any of the two codes. i can only make out a J from the sri box and it's the one out the car. is there anything i can use to make them clearer. i tried rubbing them with a rag right back to the metal but cant see any clear codes? any help appreciated.

i'll try that tomoro when i get back from work as i think i have some in my garage. thanks for your help and i will tell u how i get on tomoro. Kev

Use a wire brush and rough wet and dry sand paper, then try it after you've got most of the gunk of it. I think i'm almost right in saying (not 100% sure) that most SR boxes had the W418 box, and most GTE/GSI had the CR box. Combine both together, and you have a nippy little pocket rocket.
