Measurement request for RT4 owners

[timos]

If some kind soul with a rocker-era (say, 1983) RT4 could send me the distance between the fore and aft rod-end centers of the lower rear a-arm (i.e. at the gearbox end), that would be much appreciated.

Just eyeballing to the nearest 1/16th with a tape measure is close enough. I'm trying to figure out why my car doesn't seem to match RT4 a-arms Mr. Warner graciously supplied for trial. It might be a mix and match issue, or some demon tweek.

PM is fine.

Can you define "later model?" What aspects of the "later model" are the deciding factors?

Could be! I'd be interested for reference purposes. Thank you.

I measured 12.5" bolt to bolt at the sandwich plate, which agrees with another RT4 owner's two cars.
