The collar by the ratchet mount on T0894 has a fixing which is flush with the collar outer diameter but it has what appears to be a screwdriver slot in it although heati...

Hi Mark, I recently got to this stage with TC0894 which is undergoing a ground up rebuild. With new rear springs, the axle casing located onto the top spring mounting plates and bolted up fine. This has left a gap of around 3mm between the lower axle casing seam and the chassis. I have not got the r...
