By the time Toyota were producing the P30 Publicas and the P40 and P50 Starlets, they had been using a more 'universal' build plate up until about 1974. Koromo Heritage is also able to supply this plate and while it looks similar to the build plate used till 1964 it is in fact slightly different.

KP60 models with a 2K engine and that were exported to many more countries picked up a build plate that is much smaller and has only two screw holes. This plate was sized to that which Japan and other production centres such as Australia had shifted to in the early 1980's. Koromo Heritage is able to supply this type of plate.
