From pivot straight back to the axel stub. Centre to centre.

Reason I was under the impression that the Mini and Metro had the same length arms. I was sure that I measured them the same 30 years ago. But I was not being agreed with the other day.
So I need to remeasure the metro ones I have fitted but I don't have any Mini ones to measure.

So not a direct measurement but along the car length so I can compare.

Thanks in advance.

I've got some built arms on the bench at home but I'm not sure what you mean by this?

what the radius of the arc they swing about.

so the distance between the pin and the axel (center to center) perpendicular to the axel or the shaft.

 

hope the picture explains.

Sure, I should be able to get that measurement for you a bit later.

30 cm

30 cm

Which is what I get for the metro as well. Cheers. Now to tell some Germans they were not correct.

[Icey]

Yes, just to confirm 30cm. And the stub axle is 7/8" (22.2mm).

Did read somewhere that some moke ones had slightly longer ones due to change to 12 or 13 inch wheels if I recall

[nicklouse]

Correct the Mokes went quite a bit longer especially for the big wheel versions.
