Jeremy,
I'll go for it.  See if you can dig it out.  Anything you need for
trade?  Let me know what's involved.

Regards,

Randy

Hi Randy,

I don' think the longitudinal arm is the same length for all series 1 
models. The 88 and 109 S1 likely have a  longer  longitudinal arm on
account 
of the 2" increase in the wheel base just forward of the door posts.

I know I have a spare  longitudinal arm from a '57 107 ute - if
interested 
let me know and I'll dig it out of my parts stash.

Jeremy


Tom,
Well, I should know better and consult that parts manual.   All Series I
longitudinal arms are the same.  I may very well have the wrong lever
arm too, but the basic geometry is correct: top and bottom arms at 90
degrees.  The steering box is so far away from centering that I don't
thinks variation in the arm would help much.  As my truck has a Series
II tie rod, cut, shortened, and welded together, I'm fairly sure I have
a Series II longitudinal arm as well.

So, off to try and find a Series I longitudinal arm in the States, then
try England.

Many thanks,
