Thanks very much ht6. Your detailed knowledge and informed opinions are very much appreciated. I'm still trying to figure out what's different about the axle mounts (under all the grime)! Is there a page to point me to with these sort of details?

Slightly disappointed at first that it's a 'bitsa', but now I think about it that was just me being unrealistic. And as you say, the main parts are correct and consistent with relatively simple add-on parts to make right.

No doubt various parts were used to keep it running in the past.

I'll let the owner know the details and if I have any more questions or info I'll post them here.

Many thanks,


Patrick
