Model 4 Groove cover with knurled nuts were fitted to The Automatic and Model 4 std from 110,000- to approx 180,000 as original examples have been seen this high. They stopped using the knurled nuts when they ran out.

The Cover with clip started with the Model 5 SS1 155,000-Unknown (Somewhere in the model 5 S2 run). No model 5 got the knurled nuts, even thoug the Model 4 and 5 intersected.

So as Gadge says, no one knows exactly, but I do know they were NOT fitted to a portion of the Series 2 run. So apart from spares allocation and the Series 3 plain base due for release, they simply just used them till they ran out, leaving a portion of them without the cover.

If I had to give an amount, going of evidence, id say it was not long past the halfway mark on the Model 5 S2.

Sorry to have taken this off topic, a question about Victa 18 axles. Should the bracket that mounts the stub axle be at 45 degrees to the main axle ? I have a few that are bent out and just wondering do I put them back straight or allow a small angle - which way - for tracking.

Axle bracket must be straight. Return them all back to 45� to the main axle. All bends will be manufacture discrepencies or damage. Toe,camber and tracking were not features used on these models....or any Period Victa I'm aware of...:)

Thanks for that.
