Hello Howard,

To my embarrassment, I'm not entirely sure myself... I won't look it up just yet in case anyone has the numbers to hand

One addendum to the series - it's been pointed out to me that the bush behind the small bevel gear is shown reversed in the drawings. Not critical if it is held in place with retainer, but I actually fitted it the other way around and this means the flange takes the pressure from the bevel gear directly to the stretcher.

Corrected drawing:
