Putting back pictures into your PB account wont make them visible here on the forum unless you start paying a fee to them. Your best option is to switch to another host as I did and I am currently happy using a 'postimage' free account.

What I meant by putting them back, was onto our forum here, by using a different host
as you mentioned Ghosty

That is good news Dan,
Sometimes we speak of the locality where these models were first shipped to. I know we can’t be certain for sure of exact original shipping destination but it is interesting that of the 5 production examples known, 3 have popped up in the States,(assuming yours was USA) one in Australia
and the other in Antonin's spares box.
Like Jason I am very fond of the first code in a production model and was pretty pleased to find this one.

Plus the one on the 78 pre-pro. Do we know if there is more than one pre-pro in existence?

Hello Zbret,
Thanks for reloading the two pics, good to see thread complete again. I too am now the pleased owner of the second type axle.
Another triumph for 2017 you could say.
Here is a composite pic of the three axles in order of production from left to right. All are on the early casting with the thin ribs (braces) on the base.
There may be one more type of axle they tried in this early period before settling on the steel dome head riveted, I will try and get a suitable photo.

Antonin, almost four years later, here is a model to answer your request to confirm the roll pin (spring pin) axle on the early production version of the 4c Triumph T110 with the thin ribs (braces) on the base.

Fantastic found Yellowfoden & Brad and thanks for the confirmation of the variation with roll pin (spring pin). It is almost incredible that even after 60 years we are all together here findind and confirming new variations.

Interesting post and a good read.
So much so that I was able to win this that I would have overlooked otherwise.

It seems to me that this is an overlooked variation rather than something rare (c.f. 41a code 1).

Another one to hunt for!
