Allan

There were different types of Longbridge arm rest as it evolved during the
life of production.

If you go to the following page on my website you will find a full
explanation and photos of the different types and where they should be
positioned.

The link is,

BTW the Longbridge arm rests were never the same as the 100s as they were
shorter in length.

regards

Derek
