Hi everyone and thank you already for your replys. :)

Im currently making chassis ready for blasting and i noticed while removing handbrake parts that this one has been fitted with maybe oval style brake parts. Should it be like that or has someone changed original split style parts to newer oval style? Also there was wrong trans when i picked it up( late 60s), so im guessing that chassis trans mount is added later? Here are some photos from the chassis ( chassis number 1-0254219)







Sorry if my writing is not accurate, im from finland.

For me it looks correct for the front parts.

… looks like the correct hand-brake parts, with front adjusters - used to 1955 models - 1956 and later, adjusted inside the car, on the hand brake - a better design - i'm from Oklahoma - z

When looked more precisely, one part is missing, a spring clip behind the cotter pin.

Thank you for the info. I add that spring plate to my shopping list then. :)

This is originally an Azur Blau Split arrived to Autola/Finland on 8 June 1951 and delivered to a Mr. J. Taavilainen. Do you have the body?
