Ashtray support bracket deletion

Post by Simon776 »

Does anyone know when the ashtray support bracket found in the rear companion bins was deleted? I'm thinking 1972 or 73?

From what we seen over here, we think November / December 1971, deletion when steering locks appeared.

We may be wrong :)

Was it not when they introduced inertia reel seat belts as standard and fitted them in the rear companion boxes? I thought those came in with the rod change boxes in ‘74.

My November 72 round tunnel mk3 1000 still has them. As above, I think they were dropped when the square tunnel rod change came in.
