Hi Tom
I've just looked at the Moss catalogue and the friction mechanism is listed
as the same for the BN4 right through to the BJ8.
Have a look and see if your actual mechanism is the same as the picture in
the catalogue.
The catalogue pictures are taken from the original parts books - at least
for the BT7.
Cheers
John
