I guess you mean part number 138559. This part is shown in the factory parts
list but was not actually correct for any of the Vitesse & GT6 family - it will
only fit to the Spitfire/Herald disk brake vertical links, part numbers
306603/4. The workshop manual shows the correct layout in this area.
I am surprised to find that some suppliers aren't aware of this.
Cheers,
Bill.
