The four Banjos I've bought from CIP were all Flat Four. They are a bit flimsy although not a problem as long as you don't use the wheel as a grab handle for getting in and out of the car.

I installed one in the ex Buddy Hale 55, it fit well. The most important point is the distance to the signal switch, check out the photo of D's 55.

I had to trim the cam thingie to get my self cancelers to work correctly. Other than that, I really like the wheel.
