I just took a few photos of the front of the donor. Not sure what your trying to see but this shows the area that typically busts out. This one has also had some bush repairs. The small screws/bolts are not original. The front is supposed to be a big piece of flat plate with the guide slots cut in it to allow limited movement of the axle bar. Note these ones are busted out. It should be one piece. It's not surprising that old Theo went to the folded "U" channel that the front axle bar nested into on the yellow HD8's and the Tractors.
Let me know if you need more photos.
Thanks for the 'heads-up' on the dog clutch spacer. I've not had one apart to that extent but I've got one that I'm about to put back into service that will need those bearings changed.
Cheers,
Sorry, I've just noticed how crummy those photos are. I tried to take them just now with torch light......I'll try again tomorrow.
