Does anyone know the lengths of the CL72 rear wheel axle, there appear to have been 3 different setups, 2 for the single leading shoe and 1 for the twin leading shoe.
SLS
42301-273-000 from CL72-62 20002 to CL72-64 1107409
42301-273-010 from CL72-64 1107410 to 1008850 ; CL77 1000001 to 1014495
TLS
42301-273-030 from CL72 1008851 to ?end ; CL77 1014496 to ?end
Each axle had different spacers and swinging arms, the adjuster appears to have been changed at the same point but the 3rd change used the R/H one on both sides.
I believe the swinging arm changes relate to the first dampers having eye fixings top & bottom, the second eye top and fork bottom, the third changing to TLS brake.
This all relates to my 'Restoration Projects' posting, pictures there will explain all.

Thanks Graham, it would be interesting to find out the spacer dimensions too, I have looked to see if this information is listed somewhere but no luck. Also puzzled about the different adjusters especially using 2 right hand ones on the last setup.
