I'm making some Series A Torque Arms and I want them to be right, i.e as per original.
I already have the correct length between centres of the 2 holes at the extremities (thanks Bob S) and the position of the spring anchor threaded hole - but its the thread itself that I am uncertain about. I know that the postwar ones have a 2BA thread, but I heard somewhere (can't remember from whom) that the Series A ones had a 3/16 BSW thread and had a square locknut on the inside of the torque-arm to lock-up the spring-anchor screw.
Can anyone with a known original torque-arm confirm this please? And while I'm at it, what form did the original screw-head take please?
