I have AR51SU with German keyboard. I would like to replace it with english one. Can some one help me with the part number of the english version of the keyboard unit.

The above part number covers AR upto 3 series. I believe there have been some changes after that and 4 and 5 series of Europe and 5 and 6 series of US have now 148024421 (or 148024411 for UK) but I am not 100% sure.

I wonder if....... You change the keyboard language then just paint the keys! I know it would look a bit shabby but would it work?

can you send me a picture of your AR51SU English keyboard. The difference is more that just the Y and Z position.
