Early radius arms.

Post by 36inter »

Early radius arms I believe were welded fabrications, different to the later castings, has anyone any idea when they changed from fabrications to castings, thanks.

The trumpets were changed to cast-alloy during may 1961.
Not sure if the radius arms were changed at the same time. :?:

For racing purposes the fabricated steel ones are lighter. ;)

Thanks for that, I will go with May 61 as the change over, unless anyone else knows better.
