I like the short early TR4 arms most.
They give a very crisp steering - like a gokart.

Cheers

I believe that it is only trying to indicate different change points for
wire wheels vs disc wheels.  IOW, there were some disc wheel cars with later
commission numbers, but with the earlier suspension setup.  The change
points only differ by 50 numbers or so though, so not too many "cross over"
cars.

There are actually quite a few other examples where the change points were
not "clean" in terms of commission number; many of them are not documented
anywhere except in the cars themselves.  At least part of the problem
appears to be that cars were not finished in commission number order, and
the change points happened when previous stocks were exhausted.

Also, as I'm sure you have noticed, the change in caster only explains one
of the steering arm changes, while there were quite a few different arms
used.
