The late 87-91 plastic guides will work, but you need to very carefully
trim/narrow them everso slightly for them to fit properly.  Also used a dab
of superglue to hold them securely in place.  I did this to both my 84s,
worked fine for me

Bus Depot doesn't show them anymore on ther site.  Guess the factory
obsoleted them.  May have to knuckle down and make 'em myself.  I'll check
to see if I have any stashed away.
