Winabbey, thanks kindly once again for your informative and helpful posting. I do like the fix to the inboard side of the subframe. It is easier to just go get another, however, this fix would be considerably improved from the original.

I see that they did have an alternative TA Pin, double drilled. I can see why these were eventually deleted.

There were two styles (at least), the 1959 ones had the handbrake cables passing through curved steel tubes. The later ones had the quadrants.

if You have a look at both photo postings you will notice what Tim is talking about

Great photos John and Slacko. Shows the construction very well.

I recall that the subframe I had with the fabricated arms had the inner grease nipples on one side only! (I thought it was a dodgy repair!)
I probably would have kept it except it was very rusty and I didn't realise how rare these items were when I threw them out in the late 80s.
