Unki, the news paper clip with the chick in it clearly shows the left hand bar (suggested cable) however it also clearly shows the right hand throttle cable going to the carby, I have not speculated on this subject but had in my head the left hand part that is shown could be just a guide for the front flap to stop it dropping to far, but to confirm this theary the distance from the axel housing to were it goes through the flap would have to be measured and be a match to the height from the flap hinge point to were it is mounted on the axel housing, the only drawback I could see with this theary is when the flap was in the up position the "guid rod" would be sticking down below the flap and be subject to damage from the grass? (just a theary) by the way, what news paper had the "out today" add in it? The straight Tommy bar/bent Tommy bar uses, would almost gaurentee and confirm that only the Model 4 Automatic with the full predicta and side skirts were issued with the straight bar, as it shows (in my earlier post)the Model 4 Special with the clip on toe ring.
