I realise I don't have a proper chronology in my head for the different throttle cross shafts. I know the Nippy with arc bend, and I have one here which is straight and has the 90 degree bend for the throttle on the N/S. It has no space for any throttle action the central controls (only enough room for the accelerator connection) so I'm presuming its post '32 or whenever the DK4 came in?
I've also seen a cross shaft with a parallel higher section in the middle but not an arc. I'm not sure what that fitted.
How many are there in entirety... and can one back-convert something later for s/wheel centre controls? TIA

I think the RP uses a rod with small offsets between the brackets to enable it to clear the flywheel cover, if I remember correctly. It's about 40 years since I had one!

Perhaps I have your old one here too Robert! It is 47cm end to end (has another locator at the N/S end rather than the bent bar), has the centre straight section parallel to the ends which retain the brackets, and the through-pegged retainer for the collar allows 6cm beyond it. Which suggests it may not be for an RP, as that wouldn't need more than the retainer bracket for the scuttle and the throttle end, would it?

I suggest a look at Parts List 1029 page 24 part no BF45 on the archive. It matches your description and mine.
