I have been speaking to a very helpful Derek Tew at BMIHT.who says with the body number and gearbox number they may be able to source the cha...

Re: Minor Registration

I am sure the Axle number is stamped on the N/S driveshaft tube on the front side by the spring attachments. Deffo nothing there. Contacting BMIHT is my next step. I Was hoping to get this sorted by Christmas...................next year!!
