Workshop Manual says that steady rods were fitted to roadsters and GTs from
car No 341295 to meet certain territorial requirements. Clausager says they
were fitted to North American cars from Roadster 341295 and GT 341730 in Feb
74 to comply with US legislation. Haynes implies they continued to the end.
