[TR] Trunnions later TR4 with 3 degree caster

[A Daniel Cronin]

Its my recollection that TR2-3B and probebly early 4 vertical links also had a finer thread and more of it than the later 3 degree links on 4A and 6's.  As far as the left and right hand threads goes, I have a pair off the car and on the bench and if it will help, can let the list know which thread goes on what side!

My car has 3 degrees negative caster because the top wishbones are on the
wrong side.
Before fixing this problem I thought that I would have a look at the trunnions
to make sure the left and right handed are not transposed.
Well they are both marked PT NO 5L02202, with the markings on the front side
of the left and rear side of the right.
I assume that I have either 2x 0 degree trunnions or 2x left Trunnions. I also
assume that the 0 and 3 degree trunnions look different. If they do can
someone tell me if there is a photo somewhere of the different types and also
can someone tell me if they recognise the part no..
I looked the part nos up on Moss but they are not current numbers. There is
also a patent no on them if that helps.
