Gents, my N type has a threaded hole on the near side bracket of the gearbox
cross tube and the tube itself is tapped for a locking bolt. Both are 5/16
BSF. Then there are two collars that fit up to the gearbox on this tube and
each has a tapered pin that locks it in place......at one time Mike Allison
told
me that he was making upsome of the rubber that gointo the gearbox for this
tube to ride in but I've heard no more about that. My rubbers are very firm at
this point.
