replacement couplers for BIachman Plus F7A & F7B

[JOHN609]

Bachman Plus came with hook-horn couplers I want to change to knuckle couplers are there exact replacement couplers?

I use Kadee couplers on these.......
#5 or #148 work great

or these which state they are made for the F7 but I have not used them....

Thinking in time I will try them as you can see there is a substantial gap

I like Kadees better, but have used Bachmann EZ Mate Mark II, Center Shank, Medium couplers on my Bachmann Plus models.  Before installing them, I put a little dab of Super Glue (GEL) on the spring closest to the shank to keep the spring on.  Also, it is best to have a Kadee Coupler Height Gauge on hand to check coupler heights on anything, for the sake of consistency.  I like the #206 bc it is plastic and therefore insulated.
