I've had 100's mags of all different sorts but I have never heard of a Wico EK Type 2. I am near 100% certain you just need a standard Wico EK Maybe someone would say a Wico PR is a EK type 2? All the Taylor's I have seen that take a Wico, take an EK

Type 2 means the trip assembly type. Has nothing to do with the mag. Just look for an Old EK.

Hi, I think the TYPE 2 is referring to the drive that trips the EK. The mag itself is a Wico EK. If you are missing the trip pieces , you need to look for the type 2 drive system. Very common and suppliers that advertise here have them available. Hope this helps and have fun in the engine world. Dennis
