If the plates are original...doors have a 2 layer plate...outside is hard steel, and inside plate is soft steel.....just drill out rivets...remove plates...install some rivets in holes.
The yellow and black tach drives work the same on the 4 screw buss bar tachs...as I tested a bunch with a drill and 24 vdc.
I noticed that most of the black drives were on later 6.5NA GEP motors.
M1165 trucks did not have turrets...plate is factory.
You can install one with that black adapter ring.
The gear ring you have is not for that system...Its for a M1114.
An M1114 bearing can work with that black ring by drilling 12 holes.
I've had all types of these systems for years....before...
