Indian one is top, take note of the drain holes.

Steve - the Indian arm in pic 1 above is one of this pair (pics taken in 2019 before repaint & wax).





See posts 14-31 here - https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...=300184&page=2.


Here's a closer crop of the one on the right above ...



.... and the one on the left.



As I said in the other thread, the drain holes on an Indian arm are too close to the vertical wall of the spring cup and the rubber isolator doesn't sit flat on the floor of the cup. The solution (Brian's) is to trim about 5mm off the outer edge of the isolator with some tin snips.**

** I said this was tricky in the other thread (post 17) but I was wrong - it's easy when you buy a decent pair of tin snips!
