I fitted one of these to my 283 a year or so back. I recall that the plating where the wires are soldered to the new foot was tarnished and so the solder would not take, I had to clean the solder tags by filing with a small fine file.
As with many Japanese screws, a regular Philips screwdriver does not fit well. Either search out the correct type, or grind away the tip of the Philips to create a small flat allowing the cross points to sit more deeply into the screw head. Incidentally, the correct size of screwdriver always looks improbably large!
