variants of scuttle throttle cross shaft

[JonE]

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?
