My 1966 Sun Mass Start originally had a B15 with factory drilled
lacing holes yet my 1968 Carlton came with a B5N lacer and from the
same factory.
I've been looking out for a replacement on eBay for a long time but
they never come up.
Also from the same Worksop factory you can see these Huffy's have
B15's with lacing holes;
